Measured on a running install rather than estimated. The README already
gave 4 GB and 32 GB; what was missing is why the gap is that wide, which
is the model rather than NOMAD, and whether it comes out of VRAM or
system RAM.
Asked for by @mk-pmb on #1271.

The quickstart never said how much free space is required to install, which is
the first thing anyone plans around on a project whose whole purpose is
downloading large offline libraries. The FAQ's storage question only covered
content sizes, so it answered "how big is Wikipedia" but not "can I install
this at all".
Measured on a v1.34.0 install: admin 2.81GB, MySQL 1.1GB, plus redis, dozzle,
the disk collector and the sidecar updater at roughly 300MB combined. That is
about 4.2GB of images, so ~5GB installed and 10GB free to install comfortably.
The AI Assistant adds the Ollama image at 10.6GB plus a model (llama3.1:8b is
~4.9GB), which is where the ~25GB figure comes from.
Reported in #1271, which proposed the README sentence with the number left
blank.

Retire the dotted "N.O.M.A.D." styling everywhere in favor of
"Project NOMAD" (no periods) ahead of the trademark filing, and
remove the "Node for Offline Media, Archives, and Data" backronym
from all copy except a single origin-story line in the About page
(corrected to "Maps" rather than "Media").
Scope is display strings only: docs, admin UI labels/titles, install
script output, Dockerfile labels, package.json description, and issue
templates. Code identifiers, container/service names, env vars, CSS
tokens, URLs, and the project-nomad slug are unchanged.

Refresh the in-app Markdoc docs for the v1.33 feature set:
- Repoint dead /settings/apps links to the Supply Depot (/supply-depot)
across home, getting-started, and faq; reword "Apps page" / "Settings
-> Apps" to "Supply Depot". The old /apps route now redirects to the
Supply Depot.
- Expand supply-depot-apps.md with a "Managing your apps" section (Docs/
Edit/Logs/Stats/Update/Remove, version + update-available visibility,
custom launch URLs, per-app auto-update toggle) and a "Bringing your
own app" section for custom Docker containers.
- Add a new "Updates" doc (updates.md) covering the auto-update trilogy
(core/apps/content), manual updates, and the Early Access channel;
wire it into DOC_ORDER and cross-link from home, getting-started, faq.

Updated hardware guide price references from $200–$800+ to $150–$1,000+
based on community leaderboard data (41 submissions) and current market
pricing. DDR5 RAM and GPU prices are significantly inflated — budget DDR4
refurbs start at $150, recommended AMD APU builds run $500–$800, and
dedicated GPU builds start at $1,000+. Also noted AMD Ryzen 7 with
Radeon graphics as the community sweet spot in the FAQ.

The previous lspci-based GPU detection fails inside Docker containers
because lspci isn't available, causing Ollama to always run CPU-only
even when a GPU + NVIDIA Container Toolkit are present on the host.
Replace with Docker API runtime check (docker.info() -> Runtimes) as
primary detection method. This works from inside any container via the
mounted Docker socket and confirms both GPU presence and toolkit
installation. Keep lspci as fallback for host-based installs and AMD.
Also add Docker-based GPU detection to benchmark hardware info — exec
nvidia-smi inside the Ollama container to get the actual GPU model name
instead of showing "Not detected".
Tested on nomad3 (Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX + RTX 5060): AI performance
went from 12.7 tok/s (CPU) to 281.4 tok/s (GPU) — a 22x improvement.
