If you run a normal startup with /etc/rc then that container
will
expect all the freebsd goodies - syslog, utx, cron, mailer, etc.
It will be more familiar but also fatter.
If you manually trim down the dependencies, *and* your
application
permits it, you can choose just to run your minimal app. It will
require experimentation.
configure the container to run off jail /etc/rc.conf services?
If you do that, no issues, *but* the container will exit as soon
as rc.conf
startup finished (as the ENTRYPOINT or CMD has completed). OCI
containers
are not the same as jails in this respect, by default.
Pot and Potluck has similar (even though not OCI compatible)
capabilities.
You can look at the *-nomad images at
https://github.com/bsdpot/potluck to get an idea how jails without
starting a fully fledged FreeBSD jail with rc can look like.
