scripts/preflight.py (stdlib-only, no psutil):
- Port probing: owned services auto-reassign to next free port; external
services (Ollama) show ✓ reachable / ⚠ not responding
- System resources: CPU cores, RAM (total + available), GPU VRAM via
nvidia-smi; works on Linux + macOS
- Profile recommendation: remote / cpu / single-gpu / dual-gpu
- vLLM KV cache offload: calculates CPU_OFFLOAD_GB when VRAM < 10 GB
free and RAM headroom > 4 GB (uses up to 25% of available headroom)
- Writes resolved values to .env for docker compose; single-service mode
(--service streamlit) for scripted port queries
- Exit 0 unless an owned port genuinely can't be resolved
scripts/manage-ui.sh:
- Calls preflight.py --service streamlit before bind; falls back to
pure-bash port scan if Python/yaml unavailable
compose.yml:
- vllm command: adds --cpu-offload-gb ${CPU_OFFLOAD_GB:-0}
Makefile:
- start / restart depend on preflight target
- PYTHON variable for env portability
- test target uses PYTHON variable
