+### Hardware Acceleration
+
+Many desktop applications need access to a GPU to function properly and even some Desktop Environments have compositor effects that will not function without a GPU. However this is not a hard requirement and all base images will function without a video device mounted into the container.
+
+#### Intel/ATI/AMD
+
+To leverage hardware acceleration you will need to mount /dev/dri video device inside of the container.
+
+```text
+--device=/dev/dri:/dev/dri
+```
+
+We will automatically ensure the abc user inside of the container has the proper permissions to access this device.
+
+#### Nvidia
+
+Hardware acceleration users for Nvidia will need to install the container runtime provided by Nvidia on their host, instructions can be found here:
+https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit
+
+We automatically add the necessary environment variable that will utilise all the features available on a GPU on the host. Once nvidia-container-toolkit is installed on your host you will need to re/create the docker container with the nvidia container runtime `--runtime=nvidia` and add an environment variable `-e NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all` (can also be set to a specific gpu's UUID, this can be discovered by running `nvidia-smi --query-gpu=gpu_name,gpu_uuid --format=csv` ). NVIDIA automatically mounts the GPU and drivers from your host into the container.
+
+#### Arm Devices
+
+Best effort is made to install tools to allow mounting in /dev/dri on Arm devices. In most cases if /dev/dri exists on the host it should just work. If running a Raspberry Pi 4 be sure to enable `dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d` in your usercfg.txt.

 ## Usage
 
 To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.
