FortuneCraft

Output fortunes by using Ollama and a user-defined text generation model.

fortunecraft has a wider selection of fortunes than the good old fortune program.

One of the goals for this utility is to be one of the first Arch Linux packages that depends on Ollama and ollama-environment, to help open up this path for other packages and applications.

Requirements

Requires an Ollama server to be up and running, and the selected model to be able to run / be evaluated, in terms of CPU and memory. Using a GPU is optional.

OLLAMA_HOST can be used to set a different host address than localhost:11434 for the Ollama server.

Installation

go install github.com/xyproto/fortunecraft@latest

Then place ~/go/bin in the PATH, or install ~/go/bin/fortunecraft somewhere else, if you want.

If you want to use a different model than the default one, install llm-manager and select a model for the text generation task (can also be configured by editing ~/.config/llm-manager/llm.conf or /etc/llm.conf).

Example output

./fortunecraft
The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

❯ ./fortunecraft
The future is a tapestry woven with threads of chance and choice.

❯ fortunecraft -giz

❯ ./fortunecraft -eNb
