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.

Add comprehensive benchmarking capability to measure server performance:
Backend:
- BenchmarkService with CPU, memory, disk, and AI benchmarks using sysbench
- Database migrations for benchmark_results and benchmark_settings tables
- REST API endpoints for running benchmarks and retrieving results
- CLI commands: benchmark:run, benchmark:results, benchmark:submit
- BullMQ job for async benchmark execution with SSE progress updates
- Synchronous mode option (?sync=true) for simpler local dev setup
Frontend:
- Benchmark settings page with circular gauges for scores
- NOMAD Score display with weighted composite calculation
- System Performance section (CPU, Memory, Disk Read/Write)
- AI Performance section (tokens/sec, time to first token)
- Hardware Information display
- Expandable Benchmark Details section
- Progress simulation during sync benchmark execution
Easy Setup Integration:
- Added System Benchmark to Additional Tools section
- Built-in capability pattern for non-Docker features
- Click-to-navigate behavior for built-in tools
Fixes:
- Docker log multiplexing issue (Tty: true) for proper output parsing
- Consolidated disk benchmarks into single container execution

- Detect Windows platform and use named pipe (//./pipe/docker_engine)
instead of Unix socket for Docker Desktop compatibility
- Add NOMAD_STORAGE_PATH environment variable for configurable
storage paths across different platforms
- Update seeder to use environment variable with Linux default
- Document new environment variable in .env.example
This enables local development on Windows machines with Docker Desktop
while maintaining Linux production compatibility.
