I'm on Linux. Good to know I can just change the URL in the config! koboldcpp 1.108.1 runs really smoothly.
What I meant by the wrapper script: compiling by hand builds no single binary, just a koboldcpp.py script and library files, so I created a bash wrapper with the expected name to start it up and altered the seal file to match the file size. I'm happy to say i don't need that now! Still, just putting an API URL in the config to use what I already have instead of downloading another miniconda all-in-one package would be more efficient.
