Service ports
Each installable tool runs as a Docker container with its own port binding. The Command Center links to each service automatically, but if you need to access a service directly (e.g. from another device or script), these are the default host ports:| Tool | Host port | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Information Library (Kiwix) | 8090 | Accessible at http://SERVER_IP:8090 |
| Education Platform (Kolibri) | 8300 | Accessible at http://SERVER_IP:8300 |
| AI Assistant (Ollama API) | 11434 | Ollama REST API endpoint |
| Data Tools (CyberChef) | 8100 | Accessible at http://SERVER_IP:8100 |
| Notes (FlatNotes) | 8200 | Accessible at http://SERVER_IP:8200 |
Maps are served directly by the Command Center at port
8080 — they do not run as a separate container with their own port.Actions
Each tool card on the Apps page shows its current status and provides the following actions:| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Install | Downloads the container image and starts the tool for the first time. |
| Start | Starts a tool that is installed but not currently running. |
| Stop | Gracefully shuts down a running tool without removing it. |
| Restart | Stops and immediately starts the tool again. Useful when a service is unresponsive. |
| Force Reinstall | Removes and recreates the container from scratch, re-running the full installation process. |
Force Reinstall
Force Reinstall deletes the existing container and creates a new one from scratch. This is different from a regular update — it re-runs the full installation as if the tool were being installed for the first time. When to use Force Reinstall:- You added an NVIDIA GPU after the AI Assistant was already installed. The AI container needs to be recreated for GPU acceleration to take effect. Without this step, the AI continues running on CPU only.
- A tool is in a broken state that a restart does not fix.
- You want to reset a tool to its default configuration.
Nightly update checks
Starting in v1.29, N.O.M.A.D. automatically checks for newer versions of your installed apps each night. When an update is available, a notification appears on the Apps page next to the relevant tool.Applying an app update
Find the tool with an available update
Tools with pending updates are flagged with an update indicator. Select the version you want to apply.
App updates managed through the Apps page are separate from the N.O.M.A.D. software update (the Command Center itself). See Updates for how to update the core software.
