Richard Palethorpe 5c63969760 fix: Show MCP connection errors in the UI (#11495)
* fix(mcp): surface configured server failures

Keep model-configured MCP servers visible when discovery or connection setup fails, propagate status through distributed discovery, and let the Chat UI show actionable errors while retrying unavailable servers.

Add model-editor metadata for remote and stdio configuration and document the expected format, deployment networking boundary, and alternate MCP scopes.

* build(compose): match CUDA development image

Configure the API image with the cublas, CUDA 13, auth-tagged build settings used by the local development Makefile invocation, including the 24-way Docker build.

* revert: keep host build settings out of compose

The CUDA development deployment is managed from ~/docker/localai, not the repository example Compose file. Restore the generic example and keep machine-specific build settings in the host deployment.

* fix(docker): exclude local agent artifacts

Keep Claude worktrees and locally installed verification tools out of the Docker build context. These host-only directories added roughly 1.9 GB to every root image build.

Requirement

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

$ hugo mod graph
hugo: collected modules in 566 ms

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 /

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.
