Ettore Di Giacinto a8ac2af167 fix(cluster): make "no route" a condition of its own, and let it out of the package
Review round 1 on task 6. Five blocking findings, all with the same root: the
conditions the dialer kept apart were erased one layer out, because every one of
them arrived at core/services/nodes as a gRPC codes.Unavailable, which is also
what a backend process that died produces. Four call sites acted on that by
deleting a replica row, one of them after a single failed probe.

The fifth condition is ErrNoRoute: this replica could not get a request to a
worker's backend, and no claim at all about the worker. A worker's presence is
its HEARTBEAT, which nodes owns; a route is a separate fact that cluster owns,
and the two now differ. They differ in normal operation, not exotically: a
worker that has not dialled its tunnel yet after a frontend-first upgrade is
unroutable on every request while it heartbeats and serves.

Two properties, both mutation-tested. Every failure to resolve or open a route
carries ErrNoRoute, so a consumer has one check to make. No failure carries an
absence sentinel: routeFailure is the single place that rule lives, and it keeps
ErrNoConnection and ErrInstanceNotFound in the message and out of the unwrap
chain, the guarantee unreachableError already made for peers. Everything else
stays matchable, so ErrNotOwner and ErrPeerUnreachable are unchanged for anyone
who can act on them. A worker's own refusal carries no umbrella, because a
worker that answers has demonstrated it is there and that is the only real
evidence on the path.

Crossing the boundary needed a value, not a code. NewClientWithDialer wraps the
dialer and records each outcome; LastDialError hands it back behind a narrow
interface, and nodes.unroutable turns it into ErrWorkerUnroutable with the
cluster sentinels still in the chain. A spec asserts a dial failing with
ErrNoRoute plus ErrPeerUnreachable arrives matching all three and matching
neither absence sentinel.

The sweep found a fourth site the review had not named: pkg/model checkIsLoaded
evicts a remote model on a connection error, and a tunnel dial failure is one.
Four other reap sites were cleared with reasons - inflight and the worker
authoritative pass reap only on semantic answers, scale-down is driven by
last_used, abandoned loads decide on the node's heartbeat. Every fixed site also
grew the opposite spec, so the new check cannot pass by never reaping.

probeCache carries the reason through singleflight rather than a closed-over
variable. A variable is only written by the goroutine that runs the probe, so
the leader would correctly decline to reap while every joiner reaped on the
leader's own observation; a mutation reproduces exactly that.

The docs sentence promising LOCALAI_WORKER_TUNNEL=false restores direct dialling
is gone. There is no such path, so it said the operator could take a worker dark
and call it a rollback. Replaced with the upgrade order that is actually safe.

The deadline spec the reviewer found vacuous now waits on the dial context's own
Done channel before touching the stream, so the armed deadline has really
expired; the mutation that survived for the reviewer reddens it.

Nine mutations, each reddening a named spec, including both halves of
isAbsenceClaim independently.

Requirement

In this project, the Docsy theme component is pulled in as a Hugo module, together with other module dependencies:

$ hugo mod graph

If you want to do SCSS edits and want to publish these, you need to install PostCSS

npm install

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.

From the LocalAI repository root, run:

make docs

The Hugo configuration lives in the docs directory. To invoke Hugo directly instead, run:

cd docs
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.

  1. Build the docker image

    docker-compose build
    
  2. Run the built image

    docker-compose up
    

    NOTE: You can run both commands at once with docker-compose up --build.

  3. Verify that the service is working.

    Open your web browser and type http://localhost:1313 in 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

INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 Using config file: 
Building sites … INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 syncing static files to /
Built in 288 ms
Error: Error building site: TOCSS: failed to transform "scss/main.scss" (text/x-scss): resource "scss/scss/main.scss_9fadf33d895a46083cdd64396b57ef68" not found in file cache

This error occurs if you have not installed the extended version of Hugo. See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install Hugo.

Or you may encounter the following error:

➜ hugo server

Error: failed to download modules: binary with name "go" not found

This error occurs if you have not installed the go programming language on your system. See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install go.
