Frank e3eb5334cb feat: initialize serverAppConfigs with podman stacks for Dankserver and Dankclaw

- Dankserver stack: RomM, Copyparty, Calibre-Web, node-exporter
- Dankclaw stack: Gluetun VPN (SearXNG tunnel), SearXNG+Valkey, ComfyUI
  (CPU backend), OpenWebUI, Hermes, Gitea+Postgres (migrated), Caddy
  reverse proxy, Grafana+Prometheus+Loki+Alloy observability
- Caddyfiles with .local hostname convention and basicauth homepage
- bind-mount storage policy, no named volumes
- deploy.sh mirroring vllmScripts git workflow (push -> pull -> restart -> health)
- docs/ Obsidian vault: per-service docs from frank-default-small research
  subagents (promtail EOL -> Alloy; gitea SECRET_KEY preservation; ComfyUI --cpu)
- bats test suite at 6 seams — 22 tests green

ComfyUI

ComfyUI is a node-based AI image generation engine. Workflows are built from nodes that load models, sample latents, and post-process images; everything is scriptable through a web UI and an API.

Host: Dankclaw — Hostname: comfyui.dankclaw.local — Port: 8188 — Docs: https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI

Facts (from research, primary source)

Item	Value
Image	`ghcr.io/comfyanonymous/comfyui:latest` (community CPU build)
Port	8188 (host) → 8188 (container)
Models volume	bind mount to the model collection
CPU flag	`--cpu` — confirmed in `cli_args.py`: "To use the CPU for everything (slow)"
Known issue	ROCm wheels do not ship kernels for gfx1151 (Strix Halo) — CPU backend required

Why CPU on Dankclaw

Dankclaw is an AMD Strix Halo APU (gfx1151). Precompiled ROCm PyTorch wheels do not support this iGPU. This matches the existing knowledge base entry for ComfyUI on Dankclaw: the running instance uses --cpu. The Docker image for CPU execution is the comfyui CPU build; the GPU images (comfyui-cuda) must not be used.

Command Line (from `cli_args.py`)

Flag	Meaning
`--cpu`	use CPU for everything
`--cpu-vae`	run the VAE on CPU only
`--lowvram`	text encoders on CPU (dynamic VRAM default handles this)
`--listen`	bind address (0.0.0.0 for LAN)
`--port`	listen port (8188)

Volumes

Container path	Host path (convention)
`/workspace`	`/opt/comfyui` (models, input, output, custom_nodes)

Start Fresh

The model collection starts from scratch. The first boot creates the directory structure; models are added per the knowledge base procedure.

Healthcheck

The web UI responds on the root path /. ComfyUI also exposes /system_stats.

Gotchas

Expect minutes per image on CPU; that is the documented behavior for this APU.
ComfyUI-Manager installs custom nodes into custom_nodes/ — persist that directory.
Do not pull the CUDA image; it fails to find an NVIDIA driver.
