# Environment Selection

> Choose host, Docker, Modal, or Daytona execution.

Use this cookbook when you know the benchmark and harness but need to choose where tasks should run.

## Decision Table

| Choose         | When                                                                      |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `host_process` | The benchmark is lightweight, local, or service-backed.                   |
| `docker`       | You need local container reproducibility.                                 |
| `modal`        | You want registry-image cloud sandboxes and provider-managed compute.     |
| `daytona`      | You want remote development-style sandboxes for coding or terminal tasks. |

## Docker Smoke Test

```bash theme={null}
agentcompass run \
  swebench_verified \
  mini_swe_agent \
  glm-5.2 \
  --env docker \
  --benchmark-params '{"sample_ids":["astropy__astropy-12907"]}' \
  --model-base-url "$MODEL_BASE_URL" \
  --model-api-key "$MODEL_API_KEY" \
  --model-api-protocol openai-chat \
  --task-concurrency 1
```

## Remote Smoke Test

```bash theme={null}
export DAYTONA_API_KEY="..."

agentcompass run \
  terminal_bench_2 \
  terminus2 \
  your-model \
  --env daytona \
  --benchmark-params '{"sample_ids":["overfull-hbox"]}' \
  --model-base-url "$MODEL_BASE_URL" \
  --model-api-key "$MODEL_API_KEY"
```

## Image And Workspace Rules

For recipe-backed benchmarks, image and workspace are usually inferred from task metadata. For custom tasks, pass `--env-params`.

```bash theme={null}
agentcompass run <benchmark> <harness> <model> --env docker --env-params '{"image":"python:3.13-slim","workspace":"/workspace"}'
```
