The FreeBSD answer to Docker is to not use it. Just go back to the old way of running services on bare metal or VMs. It's not a bad idea, but other people who worship refinement and perfection will get mad at you for it.
- jolux 7y agoGiven as jails started with FreeBSD, no, I would say that running services on the bare metal is not the FreeBSD answer.
- astrange 7y agoIf you use the built in tools, FreeBSD leans towards telling you to just install ports/pkgs and then start them jailless. Your machine becomes a pet experiment in short order. I also find it weird that each jail has its own copy of all of userland. It's a lot easier to use macOS sandboxing, certainly it saves more disk space. And I feel like I'll forget to update them.
- jolux 7y agoYep. I’m not sure I agree about user land but jailing everything is definitely not the default. It’s there if you want it and know what you’re doing, though.
