Summary

Follow-up to #230. That PR replaced the note on why Docker failed on the Dell, so the host prerequisite for re-running the measurements was no longer documented.

  • Docker inside the NixOS systemd-nspawn container tom needs extraFlags = [ "--system-call-filter=bpf" ]; on the outer host. Without it, docker run exits with code 125 (bpf_prog_query(BPF_CGROUP_DEVICE) denied).
  • On 2026-10-09 the flag was active only through nixos-rebuild test from a separate test flake. That flake is not the host's full configuration, so it must not be activated with switch.

Docs-only change. No capacity defaults change.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Docker inside the Dell's nspawn container needs --system-call-filter=bpf on
the outer host. The 2026-10-09 runs used a temporary nixos-rebuild test from a
separate flake that must not be switched to.
