I believe apple is making OCI-compliant containers which is written in swift. I hope this helps the containerization in FreeBSD.

- bartekrutkowski 1y agoIn what sense? FreeBSD had containers before anyone heard about Docker ;)
- righthand 1y agoYeah talk about reinventing the wheel so Linux people don’t have to learn a slightly different system (one that is ironically easier to use and better organized than Oci containers).
- Gud 1y agoJails are not containers.
- yjftsjthsd-h 1y agoBy what definition would LXC be containers and jails not be?
- irusensei 1y agoJails are great but are not OCI-compliant.
- jen20 1y agoSo? They predate a standard which was basically extracted from Docker.
- pstuart 1y agoI think the OCI factor being noted here is the packaging not the containerized runtime.
- bartekrutkowski 1y agoThen Podman for FreeBSD exists for a while too.
- irusensei 1y agoBut it relied on Linux virtual machines didn't it?
- fridder 1y agoJust this week the foundation dropped an article about OCI compliant containeraztion: https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/oci-containers-on-freebsd/ https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/oci-containers-on-freebsd...
- jonhohle 1y agoThis is awesome. I have an Omada container running on my desktop that would be great to move to my FreeBSD server.
- irusensei 1y agoThats cool I knew those were coming but the most interesting thing in here is that it seems to be running the Linux images under the Linuxlator (hence he had to enable the linux service) as opposed to creating a Linux VM like the other operating system do. Pretty cool!
