* docs: add 'how LocalAI works' architecture diagram Add a blueprint-style architecture diagram: clients -> small core (API, router, WebUI, agents) -> gRPC -> backend processes pulled on demand as OCI images. Place it on the overview page and replace the stale external architecture image on the reference page. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-8 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * docs: add blueprint diagrams across feature, distributed & getting-started docs Add 24 architecture/flow/comparison diagrams (PNG + HTML source) under docs/static/images/diagrams/, wired into their docs pages, from an impact-vs-effort audit of the docs. Broaden the API surface on the overview architecture diagram (OpenAI, Anthropic, ElevenLabs, Ollama, and LocalAI's own API) and move the gRPC boundary label clear of the arrows. Pages: distributed mode (architecture, scheduling, ds4 layer-split), distributed inferencing, MLX, realtime, quantization, MCP, agents, mitm & cloud proxy, middleware, reverse-proxy TLS, VRAM, voice & face recognition, reranker, function calling, fine-tuning (recipe + jobs), diarization, audio transform, quickstart, model resolution.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-8 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * docs: fix composable-core connectors/badge and federated-vs-worker layout - composable-core: thicken the plug-in connectors so they read clearly, and widen the SEPARATE IMAGE badge so its text no longer overflows the box. - federated-vs-worker: shorten the WHOLE/SPLIT REQUEST pills to fit, and replace the tangled node-to-node activation arrows with a clean fan-out (request split across all sharded nodes), mirroring the federated panel.

Running the website locally
Building and running the site locally requires a recent extended version of Hugo.
You can find out more about how to install Hugo for your environment in our
Getting started guide.
Once you've made your working copy of the site repo, from the repo root folder, run:
hugo server
Running a container locally
You can run docsy-example inside a Docker
container, the container runs with a volume bound to the docsy-example
folder. This approach doesn't require you to install any dependencies other
than Docker Desktop on
Windows and Mac, and Docker Compose
on Linux.
-
Build the docker image
docker-compose build -
Run the built image
docker-compose upNOTE: You can run both commands at once with
docker-compose up --build. -
Verify that the service is working.
Open your web browser and type
http://localhost:1313in your navigation bar, This opens a local instance of the docsy-example homepage. You can now make changes to the docsy example and those changes will immediately show up in your browser after you save.
Cleanup
To stop Docker Compose, on your terminal window, press Ctrl + C.
To remove the produced images run:
docker-compose rm
For more information see the Docker Compose documentation.
Troubleshooting
As you run the website locally, you may run into the following error:
➜ hugo server
