Hello Alex,
most people use either Jails or Bhyve on FreeBSD.
I took over maintaining the Docker port a few days ago. I had another
Docker port almost ready to use on FreeBSD about 2 years ago. Here,
however, little time and too little manpower was the reason that it
could not be implemented.
I would like to make a new attempt to make the Docker port usable.
Currently I would not recommend to use it in a productive environment,
because it is also relatively expensive.
However, I don't want to make any promises that this time I will succeed
in getting Docker running on FreeBSD so that it can be used productively.
Cheers
Jochen

Hello!
I'm trying to understand an actual status of Docker / podman to check
if I can pick FreeBSD as a platform for the application servers
running pre-packaged apps inside Docker.
I've tried to google things, but I'm getting controversial
information here:
- wiki (https://wiki.freebsd.org/Docker) says things doesn't actually
works since around 2019-2022
- ports seems to contain Docker
(https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/docker/) and it seems to be
regularly updated
- there doesn't seem to be any discussion in this maillist lately,
which makes me thing it's either dead or very much alive =)
Any real-life Docker usage feedback would be much appreciated!
I'm considering production servers, would love to make it on FreeBSD
as opposed to Linux, but if it will be crashing / throwing errors
and/or won't just work out of the box, like it does on (Debian/Ubuntu)
Linux, I will be in trouble.
Thanks in advance!
With best regards,
Alex Potemkin.
