This article was interesting to me because a lot of my personal infrastructure runs on FreeBSD. While I don't host anything publicly accessible, I do have some similar needs.
The author mentions the Docker port for FreeBSD. According to the FreeBSD Wiki, it's meant to run Linux Docker images and relies on FreeBSD's Linux ABI layer to do so. To me, this is the wrong approach.
FreeBSD already has good container technology, what it really needs are good tools around that. Since the author ended up building his own Docker images, I suspect that he'd be happy with a FreeBSD-equivalent way to declarative build and manage jails.
