# openshell-driver-docker Docker-backed compute driver for local OpenShell gateways. The driver manages sandbox containers through the local Docker daemon with the `bollard` client. It is intended for developer environments where Docker is already available and running Kubernetes would be unnecessary. ## Runtime Model The gateway runs as a host process. The Docker driver creates one container per sandbox and starts the `openshell-sandbox` supervisor inside that container. The supervisor then creates the nested sandbox namespace for the agent process. Docker containers join an OpenShell-managed bridge network. The driver injects `host.openshell.internal` and `host.docker.internal` so supervisors have stable names for reaching the gateway host. On Docker Desktop, Colima, Rancher Desktop, OrbStack, and macOS-hosted gateways, those names use Docker's `host-gateway` alias. On native Linux Docker, the gateway also binds the bridge gateway IP so containers can call back to the host process. ## Container Contract The driver-controlled container settings are part of the sandbox security contract: | Setting | Purpose | |---|---| | `user = "0"` | The supervisor needs root inside the container to prepare namespaces, mounts, Landlock, and seccomp. | | `network_mode = openshell` | Places the supervisor on the managed Docker bridge network. | | `cap_add` | Grants supervisor-only capabilities required for namespace setup and process inspection. | | `apparmor=unconfined` | Avoids Docker's default profile blocking required mount operations. | | `restart_policy = unless-stopped` | Keeps managed sandboxes resumable across daemon or gateway restarts. | | CDI GPU request | Uses the sandbox `gpu_device` value when set; otherwise requests all NVIDIA GPUs when the sandbox spec asks for GPU support and daemon CDI support is detected. | The agent child process does not retain these supervisor privileges. ## Supervisor Binary Resolution The Docker driver bind-mounts a host-side Linux `openshell-sandbox` binary into each sandbox container. Resolution order is: 1. `supervisor_bin` in `[openshell.drivers.docker]`. 2. A sibling `openshell-sandbox` next to the running `openshell-gateway` binary. 3. A local Linux cargo target build for the Docker daemon architecture. 4. `supervisor_image` in `[openshell.drivers.docker]`, or the release-matched default supervisor image, extracting `/openshell-sandbox`. Release and Docker-image gateway builds bake the matching supervisor image tag into the binary at compile time. The default Docker supervisor image is not `:latest` unless a custom build explicitly sets that tag. ## Callback and TLS `OPENSHELL_ENDPOINT` is injected from the gateway's configured gRPC endpoint. When no endpoint is configured, the driver uses `host.openshell.internal:` with the appropriate HTTP or HTTPS scheme. Set `host_gateway_ip` only when the host has an explicit, locally assigned address that containers should use for callbacks; package-managed macOS gateways should leave it unset. For HTTPS endpoints, the server certificate must include the endpoint host as a subject alternative name. Docker sandboxes also need the client TLS bundle mounted into the container and exposed with: - `OPENSHELL_TLS_CA` - `OPENSHELL_TLS_CERT` - `OPENSHELL_TLS_KEY` HTTP endpoints reject TLS material because the supervisor would not use it. ## Environment Ownership The driver merges template environment and sandbox spec environment first, then overwrites security-critical keys: - `OPENSHELL_ENDPOINT` - `OPENSHELL_SANDBOX_ID` - `OPENSHELL_SANDBOX` - `OPENSHELL_SSH_SOCKET_PATH` - `OPENSHELL_SANDBOX_COMMAND` - TLS path variables when HTTPS is enabled Do not allow sandbox images or templates to override these values.
