docs: refresh LocalAI homepage (#10780)

localai-bot · mudler · web-flow · commit 50cd8977193c · 2026-07-11T09:33:41.000+02:00
* docs: refresh LocalAI homepage

Reframe the homepage around LocalAI's modular multimodal runtime, native inference engines, deployment range, and built-in platform capabilities. Remove the outdated video in favor of current product visuals and clearer paths into the documentation.

Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5

* docs: give homepage a full-width canvas

Let the product homepage opt out of Relearn's persistent sidebar and duplicate title while preserving the documentation shell on interior pages. Tighten the responsive bounds for narrow screens.

Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5

* docs: fit homepage to the Relearn content flow

Remove the full-width shell exception and use a single-column homepage inside the standard documentation layout. This avoids competing scroll containers and the compressed split hero.

Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5

* docs: hide homepage scroll rail

Preserve Relearn's content scrolling while removing the visible scrollbar beside the landing-page hero.

Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5

* docs: contain homepage sections within docs column

Prevent landing-page headings, figures, and section grids from widening Relearn's content pane or exposing overflow rails.

Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5

* docs: remove nested homepage scrollbars

Wrap the quick-start command within its column and suppress component-level scrollbar tracks across the landing page.

Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5

* docs: remove outdated gallery screenshot

Drop the stale Model Gallery image from the homepage until a current product visual is available.

Assisted-by: Codex:gpt-5

* docs: fix homepage architecture link

Point the homepage CTA at the generated reference/architecture route.
