 Project N.O.M.A.D. is now installed on your device! Open a browser and navigate to `http://localhost:8080` (or `http://DEVICE_IP:8080`) to start exploring!

+For a complete step-by-step walkthrough (including Ubuntu installation), see the [Installation Guide](https://www.projectnomad.us/install).
+
 ### Advanced Installation
 For more control over the installation process, copy and paste the [Docker Compose template](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Crosstalk-Solutions/project-nomad/refs/heads/main/install/management_compose.yaml) into a `docker-compose.yml` file and customize it to your liking (be sure to replace any placeholders with your actual values). Then, run `docker compose up -d` to start the Command Center and its dependencies. Note: this method is recommended for advanced users only, as it requires familiarity with Docker and manual configuration before starting.

Tom Boucher	b2c9252342	fix: surface actual error message when service installation fails Backend returned { error: message } on 400 but frontend expected { message }. catchInternal swallowed Axios errors and returned undefined, causing a generic 'An internal error occurred' message instead of the real reason (already installed, already in progress, not found). - Fix 400 response shape to { success: false, message } in controller - Replace catchInternal with direct error handling in installService, affectService, and forceReinstallService API methods - Extract error.response.data.message from Axios errors so callers see the actual server message	2026-03-23 23:46:30 -07:00
Bortlesboat	e7ae6bba8e	fix: benchmark scores clamped to 0% for below-average hardware The log2 normalization formula `50 * (1 + log2(ratio))` produces negative values (clamped to 0) whenever the measured value is less than half the reference. For example, a CPU scoring 1993 events/sec against a 5000 reference gives ratio=0.4, log2(0.4)=-1.32, score=-16 -> 0%. Fix by dividing log2 by 3 to widen the usable range. This preserves the 50% score at the reference value while allowing below-average hardware to receive proportional non-zero scores (e.g., 28% for the CPU above). Also adds debug logging for CPU sysbench output parsing to aid future diagnosis of parsing issues. Fixes #415	2026-03-23 23:46:30 -07:00
Chris Sherwood	9480b2ec9f	fix(ai): surface model download errors and prevent silent retry loops Model downloads that fail (e.g., when Ollama is too old for a model) were silently retrying 40 times with no UI feedback. Now errors are broadcast via SSE and shown in the Active Model Downloads section. Version mismatch errors use UnrecoverableError to fail immediately instead of retrying. Stale failed jobs are cleared on retry so users aren't permanently blocked. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-03-23 23:46:30 -07:00

O backend (DELETE /api/zim/:filename → ZimController.delete) já existia e funcionava corretamente — só faltava o método no client frontend que faz a ponte. Closes #372	2026-03-23 23:46:30 -07:00

Chris Sherwood	a68d6ab593	fix(install): prevent MySQL credential mismatch on reinstall When the install script runs a second time (e.g., after a failed first attempt), it generates new random database passwords and writes them to compose.yml. However, MySQL only initializes credentials on first startup when its data directory is empty. If /opt/project-nomad/mysql/ persists from the previous attempt, MySQL skips initialization and keeps the old passwords, causing "Access denied" errors for nomad_admin. Fix: remove the MySQL data directory before generating new credentials so MySQL reinitializes with the correct passwords.
