How's the UX for jails these days? I remember trying to use it barebones and also some of the wrappers.
One nice thing is cloning a jail (which can be done live if using ZFS) to spin up a dev/test environment on a different IP. Or setting up a jail to try some different configurations and not having to worry about resetting things on your main host.
I've set up a storage jail with no network access, then a couple of service jails that dip into it at various mount points/permissions. It's total overkill for what I'm doing, but the point is to learn, tinker, and have fun.
