Summary

Linux system Ollama onboarding now downloads the official installer to a private temporary file before execution. The fetch permits HTTPS only, uses bounded timeouts and transport retries, and removes the file on every outcome. NemoClaw does not execute an incomplete download or retry a failed installer.

Existing documentation remains accurate because the install mode, official URL, version pin, and user workflow do not change.

Related Issue

Fixes #9698

Changes

  • Replace the streamed curl | sh installer path with a fixed argv download to an exclusive mode-0600 file in a private temporary directory.
  • Execute the downloaded installer once only after a successful complete transfer, preserve OLLAMA_VERSION for upgrades, and remove temporary state on success or failure.
  • Add regression coverage for transient and persistent DNS failures, partial transfers, installer failures, cleanup, HTTPS-only transport, timeout bounds, version pinning, and onboarding integration behavior.

Type of Change

  • Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
  • Code change with doc updates
  • Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications)
  • Doc only (includes code sample changes)

Quality Gates

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
  • Tests not applicable — justification:
  • Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight, onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging)
  • Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification: An independent security reviewer applied all nine categories to commit e713972b8175fb6bfabf6a4587e26c8fdabeef60, tree 58cf7e99e4f56666cd92756bd44c0e6893ec01d3, and reported PASS with no findings.
  • Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

An independent documentation writer reviewed the same commit and tree and reported PASS with no findings. No docs change is required because existing docs do not describe the changed transport mechanics.

DGX Station Hardware Evidence

  • Tested on DGX Station
  • Tested commit: Not applicable; scripts/prepare-dgx-station-host.sh is unchanged.
  • Station profile/scenario: Not applicable.
  • Result: Not applicable.
  • Supporting evidence: Not applicable.

Verification

  • PR description includes a Signed-off-by: line and every commit appears as Verified in GitHub
  • Normal pre-commit, commit-msg, and pre-push hooks passed, or npm run validate:pr passed after refreshing origin/main when hooks were skipped or unavailable
  • Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests are marked not applicable above — npx vitest run --project cli src/lib/onboard/install-ollama-linux.test.ts src/lib/onboard/install-ollama-linux-upgrade.test.ts (41/41); npx vitest run --project integration test/onboard-ollama-upgrade-version-floor.test.ts test/onboard-selection.test.ts (69/69); npm run test:changed (32/32 growth guardrails and 41/41 changed CLI tests).
  • Applicable broad gate passed — npm test for broad runtime/test-harness changes; npm run check for repo-wide validation/coverage changes — command/result: Not run; this focused installer change has direct CLI and integration coverage. npm run build:cli, npm run typecheck:cli, and npm run checks:repository pass.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Ollama system installer now downloads the official script to a temporary file with bounded secure retries, executes it once after a complete download, reports failures, and removes the file. Tests cover fetch failures, cleanup, execution status, version handling, and onboarding flows.

Changes

Ollama installer flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Download and execute the installer
src/lib/onboard/install-ollama-linux.ts
The system installer uses HTTPS-only redirects, bounded timeouts, retries, temporary-file cleanup, and separate installer execution. It propagates download and installer exit codes.
Validate download and failure behavior
src/lib/onboard/install-ollama-linux.test.ts
Focused tests cover retry behavior, secure temporary files, partial downloads, cleanup, single execution, and failure propagation.
Update onboarding and upgrade assertions
src/lib/onboard/install-ollama-linux-upgrade.test.ts, test/onboard-ollama-upgrade-version-floor.test.ts, test/onboard-selection.test.ts
Tests locate local installer execution, preserve OLLAMA_VERSION checks, reject curl pipelines, and verify inherited stdio and updated command mocks.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e7139

The installer download path can be terminated before its configured retry and transfer window completes, causing some slow or transiently failing installs to fail, and the related assertions do not yet uniquely verify the local installer command. Merge should wait for the timeout alignment and assertion fixes.

🌐 Web query:

curl man page --retry-max-time already started transfer --max-time per transfer semantics

💡 Result:

In curl, the --retry-max-time option acts as a global timer for the entire retry process, while --max-time (or -m) acts as a local timer for each individual transfer attempt [1][2][3]. The semantics for these options are as follows: 1. --retry-max-time: This timer is initialized before the first transfer attempt [2][3]. Curl continues to attempt retries (subject to your --retry limit) as long as this timer has not exceeded the specified duration [2][3]. Crucially, this timer includes the entire duration of all transfer attempts and the sleep time (backoff) between retries [4]. If the timer has not reached the limit when curl prepares for a new retry, it will start another attempt, even if that attempt is likely to exceed the limit once it begins [2][3]. Once a transfer has started, it is allowed to complete even if it eventually runs past the --retry-max-time limit [2][3]. 2. --max-time: This option specifies the maximum time allowed for each individual transfer attempt [2][5]. If a single attempt exceeds this time, curl will terminate that specific attempt and (if configured) trigger a retry [1][3]. To summarize, if you want to strictly limit the total time of your operation including retries, you use --retry-max-time [1][2]. If you want to ensure that no single attempt hangs indefinitely, you use --max-time [2][5]. Setting --retry-max-time to zero disables the retry timeout [2][6].

Increase OFFICIAL_OLLAMA_INSTALLER_PROCESS_TIMEOUT_MS.

curl can start a retry before --retry-max-time 180 expires and run it for --max-time 120. The 190-second runCaptureEx timeout can terminate that retry. Set the process timeout above 300 seconds with margin, or reduce the curl limits. Add a regression test for this bound.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Bind the assertion to the local installer command.

The current selectors can match an unrelated shell command containing OLLAMA_VERSION= or sh ', allowing the test to pass without verifying execution of the downloaded /install.sh. Require the selected command to include the local /install.sh path, and for upgrade coverage also require OLLAMA_VERSION=${MIN_OLLAMA_VERSION}.

`nemoclaw update` piped `curl -fsSL https://www.nvidia.com/nemoclaw.sh | bash`
without pinning the transfer protocol. `curl -fsSL` follows a redirect to a
non-HTTPS location, so a downgrade redirect could smuggle plaintext bytes into
the pipeline before they reach bash. Add `--proto '=https' --proto-redir
'=https'`, the same hardening already used by
src/lib/onboard/install-ollama-linux.ts for the same fetch-shape issue
(NVIDIA#9698 / NVIDIA#9703).

Fixes NVIDIA#9861

## Summary
`scripts/update-docker-pin.sh` and `scripts/update-hermes-agent.sh`
fetch data over `curl -fsSL`/`-fsSIL` (both follow redirects) without
pinning the transfer protocol, then write a value derived from that
fetch directly as the new trusted pin, with no independent
corroboration. `update-docker-pin.sh` writes the fetched
`Docker-Content-Digest` straight into `Dockerfile`'s
`node:22-trixie-slim` pin; `update-hermes-agent.sh`'s `gh_api()` also
sends `Authorization: Bearer ${GITHUB_TOKEN}` on a redirect-following
request, and curl only strips `Authorization` on a cross-host redirect,
so a same-host downgrade would still carry the token in plaintext. This
adds `--proto '=https' --proto-redir '=https'` to all four curl calls,
the same hardening already applied in #9703, #9861, and #9977, so a
protocol-downgrade redirect during a maintainer's pin-update run can no
longer poison the recorded pin or leak `GITHUB_TOKEN`.

## Related Issue
Fixes #9979

## Changes
- `scripts/update-docker-pin.sh`: pinned both curl calls (auth-token
fetch, manifest-digest fetch).
- `scripts/update-hermes-agent.sh`: pinned both curl calls (`gh_api()`,
release tarball fetch).
- `test/release-pin-script-curl-proto-pin.test.ts` (new): runs
`update-docker-pin.sh` against a stubbed curl in an isolated fixture
tree and asserts every captured invocation carries both proto flags.
- `test/update-hermes-agent-script.test.ts`: extended the existing
full-fixture `--rebuild` test (which already exercises the tarball curl
call end to end) with the same assertion, instead of adding a second
test/fixture for the same behavior.
