Optional linuxserver/docker-baseimage-selkies Kali container with AMD/Vulkan GPU passthrough for a Radeon 780M (no CUDA), documented CPU/llvmpipe fallback, the host /home/jond bind-mounted in, and persisted /config + /opt so manually installed .deb apps (e.g. Obsidian) survive recreation. Skips no-new-privileges since Kali's toolkit depends on sudo — documented in AGENTS.md and HARD-WON-GOTCHAS.md alongside the rest of the service reference and setup docs.
