My file server is running FreeBSD. The biggest sticking point for using it on my dev machine is lack of docker support on BSD. These days, my dev box is running Arch.
- LeFantome 5y agoDo you know that, on Windows and Mac, Docker runs Linux in a VM? It uses Hyper-V on Windows and HyperKit on Mac. The Linux “distribution” is created with LinuxKit. It is this VM Linux kernel that gets shared across containers. I mention this as lots of devs happily use Mac and Windows as Docker dev boxes. Running something like Alpine or RancherOS on bhyve ( FreeBSD hypervisor ) and running Docker on top of that is pretty much the same as using Docker on a Mac. No real reason to avoid FreeBSD as a dev platform just because you want to run Docker.
