The Docker Daemon is responsible for managing Docker images, containers, networks, and storage volumes, as well as processing requests from the Docker API. The Docker daemon (dockerd) listens for Docker API requests and manages these Docker objects1. It is a background service that manages the Docker containers and handles the container life cycle, which includes running, stopping, and deleting containers. It also manages networking for the containers and the storage volumes that containers use.
