Claude d6092dde4c Move static service docs into services/<name>.md companion files

Applies the new write_readme companion-doc convention to ai-stack,
paintplus, and kyber-launcher: install-time-invariant content (usage
walkthroughs, service tables, troubleshooting) moves out of the .sh
heredocs into sibling services/<name>.md files, leaving only genuinely
install-specific content inline.

- services/paintplus.md: config/cloud/GPU/ai-stack-backend/update/Caddy
  sections, picked up automatically via write_readme's companion-doc
  support.
- services/ai-stack.md: roles, GPU switcher, service URLs, cloud LLM
  provider setup, update, Caddy. ai-stack.sh can't use write_readme
  directly (its POST-INSTALL-NOTES.md filename deliberately avoids
  colliding with the vendored app's own README.md in the same
  directory), so it appends the companion file manually.
- services/kyber-launcher.md: the full SWBF2 (2017) + Kyber walkthrough,
  moved out of the root README's "Gaming scripts" section (which now
  just points here). kyber-launcher.sh now calls write_readme to deploy
  it to ~/.local/share/kyber/README.md, fixing a stale in-script pointer
  to a README section that no longer exists.

Roles

Open WebUI (chat, research, light coding) — local Ollama + any cloud providers in one model dropdown; wired to your code via the RAG + MCP servers and Gitea.
PaintPlus (separate paintplus service) — the front end for all image work (inpaint / upscale / generate). Point its AI_PROVIDER at a cloud API, or at this stack's local comfyui / invokeai for local image-gen.
Gitea + GitHub sync — bash gitea-github-sync.sh mirrors repos both ways (pull GitHub → local git, or push local → GitHub).
RAG / MCP / Kiwix — retrieve just the relevant context so you feed the model less text (saves tokens), for both local and cloud models.
Web search uses DuckDuckGo (no SearXNG in this build).

GPU switcher (small local GPU only)

One small GPU can't run local chat and local image-gen at once. Swap it:

~/docker/ai-stack/gpu-mode.sh images   # before generating locally in PaintPlus
~/docker/ai-stack/gpu-mode.sh llm       # back to local chat in Open WebUI
~/docker/ai-stack/gpu-mode.sh status    # see which is active

Cloud models work anytime and need no swap.

Service URLs

Service	URL	Auth
Open WebUI	http://localhost:3000	built-in (first visit = admin)
InvokeAI	http://localhost:9090	none
ComfyUI	http://localhost:8188	none
Kiwix	http://localhost:8181	none
Gitea	http://localhost:3001	built-in
Portainer	https://localhost:9443	built-in

Manage the stack

cd ~/docker/ai-stack
bash start.sh          # pull latest images + docker compose up -d
bash stop.sh           # docker compose down
bash status.sh         # GPU / container / RAG health
bash pull-models.sh    # pull Ollama models (run once after first install)

Also a systemd unit: sudo systemctl {start,stop,status} local-ai

Cloud LLM providers (Open WebUI)

Open WebUI uses an OpenAI-compatible connection list. The local RAG server is the first entry; any cloud providers added at install follow it. Two semicolon-separated lists in .env, matched by position (RAG must stay first):

# ~/docker/ai-stack/.env
OPENAI_API_BASE_URLS=http://rag-server:8001/v1;https://api.groq.com/openai/v1
OPENAI_API_KEYS=local-rag;gsk_xxx
cd ~/docker/ai-stack && docker compose up -d open-webui   # apply

Provider	Base URL	Key
Groq	`https://api.groq.com/openai/v1`	https://console.groq.com/keys
DeepInfra	`https://api.deepinfra.com/v1/openai`	https://deepinfra.com/dash/api_keys
OpenAI	`https://api.openai.com/v1`	https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
OpenRouter	`https://openrouter.ai/api/v1`	https://openrouter.ai/keys

Alternatively, add them at runtime in Open WebUI → Settings → Admin → Connections (no file edits, survives image upgrades).

Update

Re-run the ai-stack installer (refreshes vendored source, keeps your .env), then bash ~/docker/ai-stack/start.sh. Or in place: cd ~/docker/ai-stack && bash local-ai-setup.sh --force.

Caddy

Open WebUI is reverse-proxied as open-webui:8080 on caddy_net (or your configured Caddy network name; attached with docker network connect after start). Other services are LAN-only by default — add Caddy site blocks for them if you want remote access.
