feat(base): add docker-client to basePackages#2
Merged
Conversation
Adds the docker CLI to the agentbox base image so containerised agents can talk to the host docker daemon via a mounted /var/run/docker.sock. Required for any workflow that orchestrates sibling containers (visionclaw stack, kokoros, whisper, xinference, etc) from inside agentbox without needing nsenter or DinD.

Summary
pkgs.docker-clienttobasePackagesinflake.nix/var/run/docker.sockWhy
Containerised agents inside agentbox currently can't orchestrate sibling containers on the host (visionclaw stack, kokoros, whisper-webui, xinference, etc.) without the CLI. Mounting the socket alone isn't enough — they also need the
dockerbinary on PATH. This bakes the client (not the daemon, not DinD) into the image.Test plan
