> In a world before Docker and btrfs, this would be enough to make installing FreeBSD worthwhile

FreeBSD is really missing out in not implementing something to run containers, and it shouldn’t even be impossible.

The podman people basically reimplemented the docker daemon command line (and apis), and I remember a talk by Bryan Cantrill about how joyent reimplemented the docker API to spawn Illumos/SmartOS zones backed by zfs volumes (i guess either datasets or zvols). And there was some person reimplementing the docker apis using jails as a backend… but I guess that project never went anywhere and didn’t get the attention (and funding/developer time?) of the freebsd foundation.
