Can you run MS SQL Server inside a FreeBSD jail? Or any of the thousands of other ready to run docker containers? Whatever you gain by running FreeBSD comes at a high cost. And that high cost is keeping FreeBSD jails from taking over.

How is that any different than running VMs on a linux host?

  Because containers are not virtual machines - You can run 1000 FreeBSD Jails on your laprop while you will not be able to run 1000 VMs - Jails are a lot lighter on resources then VMs.

Very distro specific however.

That's ... a lot of setup. Does FreeBSD have anything similar to containerd?
