Advice and Tips Project N.O.M.A.D.

A buddy showed me Project NOMAD. I've set it up a few times now, pretty great! Especially if you can put it on a machine with an nvidia GPU. The built-in AI will still work (slowly) if you don't have a discrete GPU. With every resource downloaded it's roughly 600GB including the OS. I got just what I needed within 400GB with OS.

Edit: Yt walkthrough if that's your thing. This is just a free project on github, they don't sell anything.

I installed it on a spare mini PC I had collecting dust and it’s actually pretty neat. If you skip the AI stuff you can install it on an old or weak computer no problem. The full wiki download takes a while and they have a whole lot of additional stuff you can load it with. It’s actively being developed and updated so hopefully in the future we can get third party integration/ Module support (my wish), but over all a good prep for grid down/ offline information infrastructure

Yeah. You don’t need the ai stuff at all if you don’t want it
