Why it exists
Instead of installing compilers on every laptop or tablet, one container carries the whole environment. The same GCC and the same Python libraries everywhere; code from an iPad or a library computer; and the source stays on the NAS, never synced to a device you might lose.
How it is reached
The container runs on the home server and is reached over Tailscale, a private mesh VPN, so there are no ports open on the router. Extensions and settings persist on the host, so they survive container restarts.
