Add model download to FAQ.md

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

+        Thanks for your interest in improving Project N.O.M.A.D.! Before you submit a feature request, consider checking our [roadmap](https://roadmap.projectnomad.us) to see if it's already planned or in progress. You're welcome to suggest new ideas there if you don't plan on opening PRs yourself.
+
+        
+        **Please note:** Feature requests are not guaranteed to be implemented. All requests are evaluated based on alignment with the project's goals, feasibility, and community demand.
+        
+        **Before submitting:**
+        - Search existing feature requests and our [roadmap](https://roadmap.projectnomad.us) to avoid duplicates
+        - Consider if this aligns with N.O.M.A.D.'s mission: offline-first knowledge and education
+        - Consider the technical feasibility of the feature: N.O.M.A.D. is designed to be containerized and run on a wide range of hardware, so features that require heavy resources (aside from GPU-intensive tasks) or complex host configurations may be less likely to be implemented
+        - Consider the scope of the feature: Small, focused enhancements that can be implemented incrementally are more likely to be implemented than large, broad features that would require significant development effort or have an unclear path forward
+        - If you're able to contribute code, testing, or documentation, that significantly increases the chances of your feature being implemented

+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
+and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
+  overall community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
+  advances of any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
+  address, without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
+.
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
+of actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
+permanent ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior,  harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
+the community.

+# Contributing to Project N.O.M.A.D.
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing to Project N.O.M.A.D.! Community contributions are what keep this project growing and improving. Please read this guide fully before getting started — it will save you (and the maintainers) a lot of time.
+
+> **Note:** Acceptance of contributions is not guaranteed. All pull requests are evaluated based on quality, relevance, and alignment with the project's goals. The maintainers of Project N.O.M.A.D. ("Nomad") reserve the right accept, deny, or modify any pull request at their sole discretion.

+
+## Code of Conduct
+
+Please read and review our full [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/Crosstalk-Solutions/project-nomad/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) before contributing. In short: please be respectful and considerate in all interactions with maintainers and other contributors.
+
+We are committed to providing a welcoming environment for everyone. Disrespectful or abusive behavior will not be tolerated. 
+
+---
+
+## Before You Start
+
+**Open an issue first.** Before writing any code, please [open an issue](../../issues/new) to discuss your proposed change. This helps avoid duplicate work and ensures your contribution aligns with the project's direction.
+
+When opening an issue:
+- Use a clear, descriptive title
+- Describe the problem you're solving or the feature you want to add
+- If it's a bug, include steps to reproduce it and as much detail about your environment as possible
+- Ensure you redact any personal or sensitive information in any logs, configs, etc.
+
+---
+
+## Getting Started with Contributing
+**Please note**: this is the Getting Started guide for developing and contributing to Nomad, NOT [installing Nomad](https://github.com/Crosstalk-Solutions/project-nomad/blob/main/README.md) for regular use! 
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- A Debian-based OS (Ubuntu recommended)
+- `sudo`/root privileges
+- Docker installed and running
+- A stable internet connection (required for dependency downloads)
+- Node.js (for frontend/admin work)
+
+### Fork & Clone
+
+1. Click **Fork** at the top right of this repository
+2. Clone your fork locally:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/project-nomad.git
+   cd project-nomad
+   ```
+3. Add the upstream remote so you can stay in sync:
+   ```bash
+   git remote add upstream https://github.com/Crosstalk-Solutions/project-nomad.git
+   ```
+
+### Avoid Installing a Release Version Locally
+Because Nomad relies heavily on Docker, we actually recommend against installing a release version of the project on the same local machine where you are developing. This can lead to conflicts with ports, volumes, and other resources. Instead, you can run your development version in a separate Docker environment while keeping your local machine clean. It certainly __can__ be done, but it adds complexity to your setup and workflow. If you choose to install a release version locally, please ensure you have a clear strategy for managing potential conflicts and resource usage.
+
+---
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+1. **Sync with upstream** before starting any new work. We prefer rebasing over merge commits to keep a clean, linear git history as much as possible (this also makes it easier for maintainers to review and merge your changes). To sync with upstream:
+   ```bash
+   git fetch upstream
+   git checkout main
+   git rebase upstream/main
+   ```
+
+2. **Create a feature branch** off `main` with a descriptive name:
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b fix/issue-123
+   # or
+   git checkout -b feature/add-new-tool
+   ```
+
+3. **Make your changes.** Follow existing code style and conventions. Test your changes locally against a running N.O.M.A.D. instance before submitting.
+
+4. **Add release notes** (see [Release Notes](#release-notes) below).
+
+5. **Commit your changes** using [Conventional Commits](#commit-messages).
+
+6. **Push your branch** and open a pull request.
+
+---
+
+## Commit Messages
+
+This project uses [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/). All commit messages must follow this format:
+
+```
+<type>(<scope>): <description>
+```
+
+**Common types:**
+
+| Type | When to use |
+|------|-------------|
+| `feat` | A new user-facing feature |
+| `fix` | A bug fix |
+| `docs` | Documentation changes only |
+| `refactor` | Code change that isn't a fix or feature and does not affect functionality |
+| `chore` | Build process, dependency updates, tooling |
+| `test` | Adding or updating tests |
+
+**Scope** is optional but encouraged — use it to indicate the area of the codebase affected (e.g., `api`, `ui`, `maps`).
+
+**Examples:**
+```
+feat(ui): add dark mode toggle to Command Center
+fix(api): resolve container status not updating after restart
+docs: update hardware requirements in README
+chore(deps): bump docker-compose to v2.24
+```
+
+---
+
+## Release Notes
+
+Human-readable release notes live in [`admin/docs/release-notes.md`](admin/docs/release-notes.md) and are displayed directly in the Command Center UI.
+
+When your changes include anything user-facing, **add a summary to the `## Unreleased` section** at the top of that file under the appropriate heading:
+
+- **Features** — new user-facing capabilities
+- **Bug Fixes** — corrections to existing behavior
+- **Improvements** — enhancements, refactors, docs, or dependency updates
+
+Use the format `- **Area**: Description` to stay consistent with existing entries.
+
+**Example:**
+```markdown
+## Unreleased
+
+### Features
+- **Maps**: Added support for downloading South America regional maps
+
+### Bug Fixes
+- **AI Chat**: Fixed document upload failing on filenames with special characters
+```
+
+> When a release is triggered, CI automatically stamps the version and date, commits the update, and publishes the content to the GitHub release. You do not need to do this manually.
+
+---
+
+## Versioning
+
+This project uses [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/). Versions are managed in the root `package.json` and updated automatically by `semantic-release`. The `project-nomad` Docker image uses this version. The `admin/package.json` version stays at `0.0.0` and should not be changed manually.
+
+---
+
+## Submitting a Pull Request
+
+1. Push your branch to your fork:
+   ```bash
+   git push origin your-branch-name
+   ```
+2. Open a pull request against the `main` branch of this repository
+3. In the PR description:
+   - Summarize what your changes do and why
+   - Reference the related issue (e.g., `Closes #123`)
+   - Note any relevant testing steps or environment details
+4. Be responsive to feedback — maintainers may request changes. Pull requests with no activity for an extended period may be closed.
+
+---
+

+# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
+
+Find answers to some of the most common questions about Project N.O.M.A.D.
+
+## Can I customize the port(s) that NOMAD uses?
+
+Yes, you can customize the ports that NOMAD's core services (Command Center, MySQL, Redis) use. Please refer to the [Advanced Installation](README.md#advanced-installation) section of the README for more details on how to do this.
+
+Note: As of 3/24/2026, only the core services defined in the `docker-compose.yml` file currently support port customization - the installable applications (e.g. Ollama, Kiwix, etc.) do not yet support this, but we have multiple PR's in the works to add this feature for all installable applications in a future release.
+
+## Can I customize the storage location for NOMAD's data?
+
+Yes, you can customize the storage location for NOMAD's content by modifying the `docker-compose.yml` file to adjust the appropriate bind mounts to point to your desired storage location on your host machine. Please refer to the [Advanced Installation](README.md#advanced-installation) section of the README for more details on how to do this.
+
+## Can I run NOMAD on MAC, WSL2, or a non-Debian-based Distro?
+
+See [Why does NOMAD require a Debian-based OS?](#why-does-nomad-require-a-debian-based-os)
+
+## Why does NOMAD require a Debian-based OS?
+
+Project N.O.M.A.D. is currently designed to run on Debian-based Linux distributions (with Ubuntu being the recommended distro) because our installation scripts and Docker configurations are optimized for this environment. While it's technically possible to run the Docker containers on other operating systems that support Docker, we have not tested or optimized the installation process for non-Debian-based systems, so we cannot guarantee a smooth experience on those platforms at this time.
+
+Support for other operating systems will come in the future, but because our development resources are limited as a free and open-source project, we needed to prioritize our efforts and focus on a narrower set of supported platforms for the initial release. We chose Debian-based Linux as our starting point because it's widely used, easy to spin up, and provides a stable environment for running Docker containers.
+
+Community members have provided guides for running N.O.M.A.D. on other platforms (e.g. WSL2, Mac, etc.) in our Discord community and [Github Discussions](https://github.com/Crosstalk-Solutions/project-nomad/discussions), so if you're interested in running N.O.M.A.D. on a non-Debian-based system, we recommend checking there for any available resources or guides. However, keep in mind that if you choose to run N.O.M.A.D. on a non-Debian-based system, you may encounter issues that we won't be able to provide support for, and you may need to have a higher level of technical expertise to troubleshoot and resolve any problems that arise.
+
+## Can I run NOMAD on a Raspberry Pi or other ARM-based device?
+Project N.O.M.A.D. is currently designed to run on x86-64 architecture, and we have not yet tested or optimized it for ARM-based devices like the Raspberry Pi (and have not published any official images for ARM architecture).
+
+Support for ARM-based devices is on our roadmap, but our initial focus was on x86-64 hardware due to its widespread use and compatibility with a wide range of applications.
+
+Community members have forked and published their own ARM-compatible images and installation guides for running N.O.M.A.D. on Raspberry Pi and other ARM-based devices in our Discord community and [Github Discussions](https://github.com/Crosstalk-Solutions/project-nomad/discussions), but these are not officially supported by the core development team, and we cannot guarantee their functionality or provide support for any issues that arise when using these community-created resources.
+
+## What are the hardware requirements for running NOMAD?
+
+Project N.O.M.A.D. itself is quite lightweight and can run on even modest x86-64 hardware, but the tools and resources you choose to install with N.O.M.A.D. will determine the specs required for your unique deployment. Please see the [Hardware Guide](https://www.projectnomad.us/hardware) for detailed build recommendations at various price points.
+
+## Does NOMAD support languages other than English?
+
+As of March 2026, Project N.O.M.A.D.'s UI is only available in English, and the majority of the tools and resources available through N.O.M.A.D. are also primarily in English. However, we have multi-language support on our roadmap for a future release, and we are actively working on adding support for additional languages both in the UI and in the available tools/resources. If you're interested in contributing to this effort, please check out our [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) file for guidelines on how to get involved.
+
+## What technologies is NOMAD built with?
+
+Project N.O.M.A.D. is built using a combination of technologies, including:
+- **Docker:** for containerization of the Command Center and its dependencies
+- **Node.js & TypeScript:** for the backend of the Command Center, particularly the [AdonisJS](https://adonisjs.com/) framework
+- **React:** for the frontend of the Command Center, utilizing [Vite](https://vitejs.dev/) and [Inertia.js](https://inertiajs.com/) under the hood
+- **MySQL:** for the Command Center's database
+- **Redis:** for various caching, background jobs, "cron" tasks, and other internal processes within the Command Center
+
+NOMAD makes use of the Docker-outside-of-Docker ("DooD") pattern, which allows the Command Center to manage and orchestrate other Docker containers on the host machine without needing to run Docker itself inside a container. This approach provides better performance and compatibility with a wider range of host environments while still allowing for powerful container management capabilities through the Command Center's UI.
+
+## Can I run NOMAD if I have existing Docker containers on my machine?
+Yes, you can safely run Project N.O.M.A.D. on a machine that already has existing Docker containers. NOMAD is designed to coexist with other Docker containers and will not interfere with them as long as there are no port conflicts or resource constraints.
+
+All of NOMAD's containers are prefixed with `nomad_` in their names, so they can be easily identified and managed separately from any other containers you may have running. Just make sure to review the ports that NOMAD's core services (Command Center, MySQL, Redis) use during installation and adjust them if necessary to avoid conflicts with your existing containers.
+
+## Why does NOMAD require access to the Docker socket?
+
+See [What technologies is NOMAD built with?](#what-technologies-is-nomad-built-with)
+
+## Can I use any AI models?
+NOMAD by default uses Ollama inside of a docker container to run LLM Models for the AI Assistant. So if you find a model on HuggingFace for example, you won't be able to use that model in NOMAD. The list of available models in the AI Assistant settings (/settings/models) may not show all of the models you are looking for. If you found a model from https://ollama.com/search that you'd like to try and its not in the settings page, you can use a curl command to download the model.  
+`curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"model":"MODEL_NAME_HERE"}' http://localhost:8080/api/ollama/models` replacing MODEL_NAME_HERE with the model name from whats in the ollama website.
+
+## Do I have to install the AI features in NOMAD?
+
+No, the AI features in NOMAD (Ollama, Qdrant, custom RAG pipeline, etc.) are all optional and not required to use the core functionality of NOMAD.
+
+## Is NOMAD actually free? Are there any hidden costs?
+Yes, Project N.O.M.A.D. is completely free and open-source software licensed under the Apache License 2.0. There are no hidden costs or fees associated with using NOMAD itself, and we don't have any plans to introduce "premium" features or paid tiers.
+
+Aside from the cost of the hardware you choose to run it on, there are no costs associated with using NOMAD.
+
+## Do you sell hardware or pre-built devices with NOMAD pre-installed?
+
+No, we do not sell hardware or pre-built devices with NOMAD pre-installed at this time. Project N.O.M.A.D. is a free and open-source software project, and we provide detailed installation instructions and hardware recommendations for users to set up their own NOMAD instances on compatible hardware of their choice. The tradeoff to this DIY approach is some additional setup time and technical know-how required on the user's end, but it also allows for greater flexibility and customization in terms of hardware selection and configuration to best suit each user's unique needs, budget, and preferences.
+
+## How quickly are issues resolved when reported?
+
+We strive to address and resolve issues as quickly as possible, but please keep in mind that Project N.O.M.A.D. is a free and open-source project maintained by a small team of volunteers. We prioritize issues based on their severity, impact on users, and the resources required to resolve them. Critical issues that affect a large number of users are typically addressed more quickly, while less severe issues may take longer to resolve. Aside from the development efforts needed to address the issue, we do our best to conduct thorough testing and validation to ensure that any fix we implement doesn't introduce new issues or regressions, which also adds to the time it takes to resolve an issue.
+
+We also encourage community involvement in troubleshooting and resolving issues, so if you encounter a problem, please consider checking our Discord community and Github Discussions for potential solutions or workarounds while we work on an official fix.
+
+## How often are new features added or updates released?
+
+We aim to release updates and new features on a regular basis, but the exact timing can vary based on the complexity of the features being developed, the resources available to our volunteer development team, and the feedback and needs of our community. We typically release smaller "patch" versions more frequently to address bugs and make minor improvements, while larger feature releases may take more time to develop and test before they're ready for release.
+
+## I opened a PR to contribute a new feature or fix a bug. How long does it usually take for PRs to be reviewed and merged?
+We appreciate all contributions to the project and strive to review and merge pull requests (PRs) as quickly as possible. The time it takes for a PR to be reviewed and merged can vary based on several factors, including the complexity of the changes, the current workload of our maintainers, and the need for any additional testing or revisions.
+
+Because NOMAD is still a young project, some PRs (particularly those for new features) may take longer to review and merge as we prioritize building out the core functionality and ensuring stability before adding new features. However, we do our best to provide timely feedback on all PRs and keep contributors informed about the status of their contributions.
+
+## I have a question that isn't answered here. Where can I ask for help?
+
+If you have a question that isn't answered in this FAQ, please feel free to ask for help in our Discord community (https://discord.com/invite/crosstalksolutions) or on our Github Discussions page (https://github.com/Crosstalk-Solutions/project-nomad/discussions).
+
+## I have a suggestion for a new feature or improvement. How can I share it?
+
+We welcome and encourage suggestions for new features and improvements! We highly encourage sharing your ideas (or upvoting existing suggestions) on our public roadmap at https://roadmap.projectnomad.us, where we track new feature requests. This is the best way to ensure that your suggestion is seen by the development team and the community, and it also allows other community members to upvote and show support for your idea, which can help prioritize it for future development.

 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!
 
-## How It Works
-From a technical standpoint, N.O.M.A.D. is primarily a management UI ("Command Center") and API that orchestrates a goodie basket of containerized offline archive tools and resources such as 
-[Kiwix](https://kiwix.org/), [ProtoMaps](https://protomaps.com), [Ollama](https://ollama.com/), and more.
+For a complete step-by-step walkthrough (including Ubuntu installation), see the [Installation Guide](https://www.projectnomad.us/install).
 
-By abstracting the installation of each of these awesome tools, N.O.M.A.D. makes getting your offline survival computer up and running a breeze! N.O.M.A.D. also includes some additional built-in handy tools, such as a ZIM library managment interface, calculators, and more.
+### 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.
+
+## How It Works
+N.O.M.A.D. is a management UI ("Command Center") and API that orchestrates a collection of containerized tools and resources via [Docker](https://www.docker.com/). It handles installation, configuration, and updates for everything — so you don't have to.

 ## About Internet Usage & Privacy
 Project N.O.M.A.D. is designed for offline usage. An internet connection is only required during the initial installation (to download dependencies) and if you (the user) decide to download additional tools and resources at a later time. Otherwise, N.O.M.A.D. does not require an internet connection and has ZERO built-in telemetry.

 ## About Security
 By design, Project N.O.M.A.D. is intended to be open and available without hurdles - it includes no authentication. If you decide to connect your device to a local network after install (e.g. for allowing other devices to access it's resources), you can block/open ports to control which services are exposed.
 
-## Versioning
-This project uses semantic versioning. The version is managed in the root `package.json` 
-and automatically updated by semantic-release. For simplicity's sake, the "project-nomad" container
-uses the same version defined there instead of the version in `admin/package.json` (stays at 0.0.0), as it's the only container derived from the code.
+**Will authentication be added in the future?** Maybe. It's not currently a priority, but if there's enough demand for it, we may consider building in an optional authentication layer in a future release to support uses cases where multiple users need access to the same instance but with different permission levels (e.g. family use with parental controls, classroom use with teacher/admin accounts, etc.). We have a suggestion for this on our public roadmap, so if this is something you'd like to see, please upvote it here: https://roadmap.projectnomad.us/posts/1/user-authentication-please-build-in-user-auth-with-admin-user-roles
+
+For now, we recommend using network-level controls to manage access if you're planning to expose your N.O.M.A.D. instance to other devices on a local network. N.O.M.A.D. is not designed to be exposed directly to the internet, and we strongly advise against doing so unless you really know what you're doing, have taken appropriate security measures, and understand the risks involved.

+### What is the System Benchmark?
+The System Benchmark tests your hardware performance and generates a NOMAD Score — a weighted composite of CPU, memory, disk, and AI performance. You can create a Builder Tag (a NOMAD-themed identity like "Tactical-Llama-1234") and share your results with the [community leaderboard](https://benchmark.projectnomad.us).
+
+Go to **[System Benchmark →](/settings/benchmark)** to run one.
+
+### What is the Early Access Channel?
+The Early Access Channel lets you opt in to receive release candidate builds with the latest features and improvements before they hit stable releases. You can enable or disable it from **Settings → Check for Updates**. Early access builds may contain bugs — if you prefer stability, stay on the stable channel.

 ### AI responses are slow
 
 Local AI requires significant computing power. To improve speed:
+- **Add a GPU** — An NVIDIA GPU with the NVIDIA Container Toolkit can improve AI speed by 10-20x or more
 - Close other applications on the server
 - Ensure adequate cooling (overheating causes throttling)
 - Consider using a smaller/faster AI model if available
-- Add a GPU if your hardware supports it
+
+### How do I enable GPU acceleration for AI?
+
+N.O.M.A.D. automatically detects NVIDIA GPUs when the NVIDIA Container Toolkit is installed on the host system. To set up GPU acceleration:
+
+1. **Install an NVIDIA GPU** in your server (if not already present)
+2. **Install the NVIDIA Container Toolkit** on the host — follow the [official installation guide](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html)
+3. **Reinstall the AI Assistant** — Go to [Apps](/settings/apps), find AI Assistant, and click **Force Reinstall**
+
+N.O.M.A.D. will detect the GPU during installation and configure the AI to use it automatically. You'll see "NVIDIA container runtime detected" in the installation progress.
+
+**Tip:** Run a [System Benchmark](/settings/benchmark) before and after to see the difference. GPU-accelerated systems typically see 100+ tokens per second vs 10-15 on CPU only.
+
+### I added/changed my GPU but AI is still slow
+
+When you add or swap a GPU, N.O.M.A.D. needs to reconfigure the AI container to use it:
+
+1. Make sure the **NVIDIA Container Toolkit** is installed on the host
+2. Go to **[Apps](/settings/apps)**
+3. Find the **AI Assistant** and click **Force Reinstall**
+
+Force Reinstall recreates the AI container with GPU support enabled. Without this step, the AI continues to run on CPU only.
+
+### I see a "GPU passthrough not working" warning
+
+N.O.M.A.D. checks whether your GPU is actually accessible inside the AI container. If a GPU is detected on the host but isn't working inside the container, you'll see a warning banner on the System Information and AI Settings pages. Click the **"Fix: Reinstall AI Assistant"** button to recreate the container with proper GPU access. This preserves your downloaded AI models.
+
+### AI Chat not available
+
+The AI Chat page requires the AI Assistant to be installed first:
+1. Go to **[Apps](/settings/apps)**
+2. Install the **AI Assistant**
+3. Wait for the installation to complete
+4. The AI Chat will then be accessible from the home screen or [Chat](/chat)
+
+### Knowledge Base upload stuck
+
+If a document upload appears stuck in the Knowledge Base:
+1. Check that the AI Assistant is running in **Settings → Apps**
+2. Large documents take time to process — wait a few minutes
+3. Try uploading a smaller document to verify the system is working
+4. Check **Settings → System** for any error messages
+
+### Benchmark won't submit to leaderboard
+
+To share results with the community leaderboard:
+- You must run a **Full Benchmark** (not System Only or AI Only)
+- The benchmark must include AI results (AI Assistant must be installed and working)
+- Your score must be higher than any previous submission from the same hardware
