Yeah bluetooth on my NUC hangs the kernel while booting. It's definitely a weak spot. I turned it off in the BIOS as I didn't need it (nor do I need WiFi). But it would have been nice to have.

oh that's a shame, I don't have a bluetooth chip in my pc, but was thinking in adding one, anyone knows if docker works fine in FreeBSD?
What I gathered from trying to get a PS5 DualSense running on FreeBSD ( https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/playstation-5-dualsense-c... ) is the following: BlueTooth 2.1 has full support. BlueTooth 4.0 has support only for Audio playback, anything else is unsupported. Thus if you get a BT2.1 USB dongle, Mice and keyboards should run fine as documented here: https://www.tspi.at/2020/02/18/fbsdbtmouse.html PS3 controller works via BlueTooth problem free via btsixad, DualSense and PS4 controller lacks drivers.

Using just jails on my servers, no idea about docker.

Yeah I think it's just the particular Bluetooth controller in my NUC being difficult. I didn't spend time investigating as I didn't need it anyway.
I think docker can be made to work but it's a tech that is heavily based on Linux containerisation. I think it's currently broken, as per https://wiki.freebsd.org/Docker

FreeBSD has its own mechanism for that which is jails (and which predates docker!). If you're not using docker containers you pull from docker hub, I would recommend to use jails.
