 Scalable architecture supporting future AI model additions

🔒 SECURITY & PRIVACY FEATURES:
• Complete local processing - no external API calls
• Security hardening with restricted user permissions
• Resource limits and isolation for AI services
• Comprehensive logging and monitoring for security audit trails

📈 IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAP:
• Phase 1: Foundation & Core Services (Weeks 1-3)  COMPLETED
• Phase 2: RAG Integration (Weeks 4-6) - Ready for implementation
• Phase 3: MCP Integration (Weeks 7-9) - Architecture defined
• Phase 4: Advanced Features (Weeks 10-12) - Roadmap established

This integration transforms the home lab into an intelligent development environment where AI understands infrastructure, manages complex projects, and provides expert assistance while maintaining complete privacy through local processing.

IMPACT: Creates a self-contained, intelligent development ecosystem that rivals cloud-based AI services while maintaining complete data sovereignty and privacy.

# NixOS Ollama Service Configuration
#
# This module provides a comprehensive Ollama service configuration for the home lab.
# Ollama is a tool for running large language models locally with an OpenAI-compatible API.
#
# Features:
# - Secure service isolation with dedicated user
# - Configurable network binding (localhost by default for security)
# - Resource management and monitoring
# - Integration with existing NixOS infrastructure
# - Optional GPU acceleration support
# - Comprehensive logging and monitoring
