I hope OCI images for FreeBSD really take off. There too many tools which do jail management.

When I was investigating jails it seemed like the building blocks were there but any project to make a Docker-esque solution got abandoned after some time.

Podman is in an experimental state for FreeBSD 14, and can even run Linux containers using the Linux binary emulation. https://podman.io/docs/installation#installing-on-freebsd-14...

(I'm personally using it now to run the ArchiveTeam Warrior docker container on FreeBSD, albeit with a few hiccups)

Can you talk about where the current pain points are?

Probably the biggest problem is for now everything still needs to run as root.

When I was trying to replace Docker with rootless Podman on Linux I had enough hiccups there I just scrapped it.

BastilleBSD has commits from earlier today and is a Docker-esque solution for jails: https://github.com/BastilleBSD/bastille
