docs: fix hosting badges, installation link and brand typos

[deluan]

Description

The managed-hosting changes in #485 render Zenith at 49px high beside a 40px PikaPods button, and ElfHosted is a plain link. Carry forward that contributor's commits onto current master and render all three providers as matching 200×40px deployment badges.

The SVGs live in static/images/hosting/ and match the README assets. PikaPods and Zenith preserve their original artwork, scaled uniformly on centered, padded canvases with matching brand-color backgrounds. ElfHosted uses its original mascot in a self-contained deployment badge. Logo proportions, provider links and hosting text are retained.

Also fix the broken relative ElfHosted link on the installation page and clear brand-page typos (at the of → at the end of, som → some, explicitely → explicitly, eg. → e.g.). The original brand guidance and hosting claims are otherwise preserved.

Related to #485. Also reviewed #469, which constrains Zenith's height but does not cover ElfHosted or equal-width badges. Existing contributor PRs remain open and untouched.

Type of change

• Documentation
• Styling / layout

Checklist

• Full Hugo 0.166.0 extended build passes in an isolated Docker container
• Previewed the built page in an isolated real browser at 1280px and 390px, light/dark
• git diff --check and asset checks pass

Validation

All three badges load and render exactly 200×40px with proportional artwork. Every changed website file matches the source used for the local build and screenshots. SVG path checks confirm original provider artwork is unchanged; assets are self-contained and identical across both repositories. The installation-page link resolves to /docs/installation/managed/#elfhosted.

The full build used no user data or real secrets. Translation statistics were omitted from local validation; unrelated public app-update requests produced expected unauthenticated API warnings.

The [skip ci] commit intentionally prevents Preview Build from triggering automatic Cloudflare deployment, honoring the request to avoid website deployment. CI/deployment checks are therefore skipped. No website was deployed.

Full page screenshots and labeled side-by-side comparisons of real badge crops are saved in Library. Existing mobile page overflow was observed before and after; the three badges fit within the content column.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Clarified branding guidance for independent apps, including permitted references and logo use, restrictions on misleading names and domains, packaging requirements, and how to request permission.
  • Updated managed-hosting information across the FAQ and installation pages, adding ElfHosted and refining Zenith Hosting links and details.
  • Updated hosting listings with deployment links and a local image for PikaPods.

Review details

Systems and components

• observed — content (service) was modified; 4 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in content/en/brand/_index.md: The introduction now covers building apps, writing about Navidrome or related apps, and showing work; it states that following the guidelines grants permission and gives an updated link. The short version expands allowed references to app store names, in-app connection flows, marketing materials, and Navidrome content, and explicitly prohibits implying official status or project endorsement.
• observed — Modified behavior in content/en/brand/_index.md: The name guidance adds examples for compatibility claims and clarifies that Subsonic-only support must not imply Navidrome-only features. The app-name examples now distinguish allowed from prohibited names, add more prohibited lookalikes, and allow partial-word names that do not read as “Navidrome.” Domain and social-account rules specify that official-looking identities are prohibited while a subdomain for an owned server is allowed. The logo section heading now follows these rules.
• observed — Modified behavior in content/en/brand/_index.md: The logo guidance now refers to other server types, explicitly prohibits using the logo within an app icon, and permits logo use in app-related articles, videos, and dashboards. It specifies preserving the logo’s colors and proportions, not adding elements or cropping it, and leaving surrounding space. App makers are now instructed to state explicitly that their project is independent, with a sample disclaimer.
• observed — Modified behavior in content/en/brand/_index.md: Packaging guidance now allows small patches needed for packaging and asks packagers to link to the official project. The closing guidance adds GitHub discussions as the route for uses not covered by the page and for permission requests.

Review summary

Reviewed all seven changed files in PR #496: three documentation pages (brand guidelines, FAQ, installation index, and the managed-hosting page) and three new static SVG hosting badges. The changes are documentation and styling only — prose rewrites, markdown link/anchor updates, and self-contained SVG image assets served via <img> tags. The SVGs contain no scripts, event handlers, foreignObject, or external references, and one change actually removes a remote third-party image dependency in favor of a local asset. No executable code, secret material, authentication, authorization, or data-handling changes are present. No security vulnerabilities were identified.

Preserve the published Zenith anchor

Renaming this heading changes its generated fragment from #zenith to #zenith-hosting. The previous FAQ and installation pages both published links to /docs/installation/managed/#zenith, so bookmarked or externally copied versions of those URLs will now land at the top of the page instead of the provider section. Keep an explicit zenith anchor (or equivalent compatibility target) while displaying the longer heading.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

[chatgpt-codex-connector]

Align the naming rule with the allowed examples

This sentence now says that Navidrome must be at the end of the app name, but the same page explicitly approves MyAmazingApp - Navidrome & Jellyfin, where it is not last. Developers relying on this brand-permission page therefore cannot determine whether multi-service suffixes are permitted; retain the earlier “after your own app name” wording or update the examples to match the stricter rule.
