AMD AMF & ROCm (Encode + Compute)

Adds a DockerMod that enables AMD GPU hardware video encode and optional GPU compute on the FileFlows (Ubuntu) image:

• VA-API (Mesa radeonsi) — the universal AMD encode path on Linux; works on every AMD GPU, including desktop iGPUs.
• AMF runtime (amf-amdgpu-pro + libamdenc-amdgpu-pro) for the discrete GPUs AMF supports on Linux.
• Optional ROCm / OpenCL compute (off by default; opt-in via AMD_AMF_PROFILE=standard/opencl) via amdgpu-install --no-dkms.

Built from AMD's official repositories and tooling. Container-safe (never installs a kernel module — --no-dkms), amd64-only, idempotent and self-updating (discovers the newest AMF/driver builds for the image's Ubuntu release, with apt garbage-collection), and a clean --uninstall. Configurable via AMD_AMF_PROFILE (auto/standard/opencl/legacy), plus AMD_GFX_VERSION / AMD_HSA_OVERRIDE / version pins.

Tested on Ubuntu 26.04 inside the FileFlows image via the native DockerMod runner: install, idempotent re-run, and uninstall all clean; hevc_vaapi verified on an AMD iGPU. Ships with a short companion guide (.md).

Pull request overview

Note

Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.

Adds a new DockerMod to enable AMD GPU hardware encoding (VA-API + AMF runtime) and optional compute (ROCm/OpenCL) inside the FileFlows container, with self-updating and clean uninstall behavior.

Changes:

• Introduces an install/uninstall Bash mod that detects distro/GPU, installs VA-API + AMF, and optionally installs ROCm/OpenCL via amdgpu-install --no-dkms.
• Adds a companion Markdown guide documenting profiles, requirements, verification, and troubleshooting.

• The #!/bin/bash shebang is not on the first line of the file. If the mod runner executes this file directly (rather than invoking bash <file>), the OS will not use Bash as the interpreter, which can break execution. Move the shebang to line 1 and keep the metadata/comment header immediately after it.

On the suppressed shebang note (#!/bin/bash not on line 1): this is intentional and matches the existing DockerMod convention in this repo — the # Name:/# Description: metadata header comes first, and the entrypoint runs each mod via bash "$file", so the interpreter is Bash regardless of shebang position. Left as-is for consistency with the other mods.

The markdown file might be the best location for this. Most users dont come to this repository directly and use the repository browser in the web console. So I need to think about this, one option maybe to use it how you have it, and update the repository generation to include this markdown if it exists as help for the DockerMod. Ill do some thinking
