Docker Daemon

Run mlabd and its workers in the Market Lab container.

Select the Docker backend:

mlab daemon backend docker
mlab daemon status

The host CLI connects to mlabd inside the container:

host mlab -> Docker mlabd -> workers

The connection uses 127.0.0.1:47831 and a random token stored at ~/.market-lab/daemon.token. The port is bound to host loopback only.

The official container uses a read-only root filesystem, drops Linux capabilities, enables no-new-privileges, runs with the host user ID, and does not mount the Docker socket.

Choose another compatible image when required:

mlab daemon backend docker --image my-marketlab-daemon:v0.1.2

The container uses the same ~/.market-lab/ state as Native. Replacing it does not remove credentials, snapshots, artifacts, jobs, or logs.
