Frank 5829a0bfe8 docs: rename docs/ -> serverAppConfigs-docs/ per system-wide PROJECTNAME-docs convention
All in-repo path references (AGENTS.md, README, old scripts, report artifacts,
test code paths) rewritten in the same commit; focused-test map extended for
.gitignore, old/scripts/*, dankclaw/comfyui/*, and report/* per this repo's
own convention ('add one before committing'). Obsidian wikilinks are
title-based and unaffected.

# vLLM Index
> **RETIRED (2026-08-18).** The vLLM service on Dankclaw was replaced by the CIRU ROCmFPX llama.cpp runtime (v3). These pages are historical reference. See [[ciru-activefpx-promptforge]].
## Documentation Overview
This index contains all documentation for vLLM deployment on Dankserver and Dankclaw.
## Hardware Guides
- [[Dankserver System Specs]] — NVIDIA GPU server specifications
- [[Dankclaw System Specs]] — AMD GPU server specifications
## vLLM Architecture
- [[VLLM Overview]] — Complete vLLM documentation including installation, CLI, API, and key arguments
- [[RAM CPU Offloading in VLLM]] — CPU RAM offloading mechanisms, swap space, and memory configuration
- [[Hybrid CPU GPU Processing Dankserver]] — NVIDIA GPU with system RAM hybrid processing
- [[Shared Memory Architecture Dankclaw]] — AMD ROCm unified memory and APU configuration
## Model Deployment Guides
- [[Running Qwen3.6 35B A3B FP8 on Dankserver]] — Qwen3.6-35B-A3B FP8 deployment on NVIDIA GPU
- [[Running Qwen3.6 27B FP8 on Dankclaw]] — Qwen3.6-27B FP8 deployment on AMD GPU
## Quick Reference
### Installation Commands
```
# NVIDIA GPU
uv pip install vllm --torch-backend=auto
# AMD ROCm
uv pip install vllm --extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/rocm/
# CPU
uv pip install vllm --extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/nightly/cpu/
```
### Server Start Commands
```
# Basic server
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct
# With tensor parallelism
vllm serve meta-llama/Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct --tensor-parallel-size 4
# With quantization
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct --quantization fp8
# With GPU memory control
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct --gpu-memory-utilization 0.8 --swap-space 8
```
