There are jails. I use both Linux (since 1.2.13) and FreeBSD (since 4.0), there are not much differences to keep up in FreeBSD, rather than between Linux distributions and new vs. old versions of these distributions. FreeBSD has always been consistent and there's no hype driven change occuring, breaking things up and always creating annoyances for the grumpy sysadmin.
- mekster 5y agoI'm not talking about the inability to use virtualization. Not being able to use the docker container ecosystem is just making me give up. Any differences between system versions is up to you to learn but having no access to third party resources isn't anything you can get around with.
- petre 5y agoDocker is a Linux thing (cgroups, overlay fs etc). On Mac and Windows it's emulated using Linux VMs and of course it thus runs like crap on older hardware. Just keep using Linux if you need Docker or Podman. There's also a proof of concept implementation of OCI on FreeBSD called runj, but it's incomplete due to the fact that OCI relies on Linuxisms. https://freebsdfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Understanding-Docker-For-FreeBSD-Users.pdf https://freebsdfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Und...
