I'm excited to see FreeNAS "Corral" come out and the user interface looks great, however I'm still disappointed that jails are not able to be used.
I'm not sad to see the plugins system gone, it was terrible and I always set up my own custom jails on FreeNAS anyway, but It would have been nice to be able to use jails at least from the command line. I guess they don't want to have to worry about supporting both.
I just wonder about the extra overhead of having to run a virtual machine for every container as opposed to just running a FreeBSD jail. bhyve is also not as established as FreeBSD jails and I wonder about stability. Now you're having to worry about the stability of bhyve and docker. For just running services like emby, syncthing, SABnzbd or the like I honestly think having the option to just run a FreeBSD jail is superior. Considering it is FreeBSD under the hood I don't see why the option is gone.
It's nice to be able to run Docker containers don't get me wrong, but I just wonder if it is really the superior technology.
