What

Adds a new top-level FAQ page at /faq/, placed last in the docs outline (weight: 700, after Reference). Questions use the expand shortcode so each one collapses to its answer.

First question included:

  • Do Viam machines require an internet connection to run? Explains that viam-server executes locally (resources and modules run on the device, modules over Unix domain sockets), API calls are served on the machine, config is cached for offline restarts, and captured data buffers locally until reconnect. Verified against rdk source (config/reader.go, services/datamanager/builtin/sync/, module/).

Note

This is intentionally a starting point. More questions will be added to this branch before merge.

Checks

prettier, markdownlint, vale, and make build-prod all pass locally.

Hey @shannonbradshaw — CI is green and no reviewer is assigned yet. Could you request one when you have a chance?
