I’ve been evaluating FreeBSD, and the primary thing that I miss is the ease of use that comes with using docker images.

The jails system + zfs is pretty nice. If there was an ability to snapshot a jail and easily package it as an image… I wouldn’t look back at docker again.

I have not used it, but have you looked at pot?

Yes!

Pot is very nice for managing the jails — but I didn’t see anything that behaves similar to docker images as part of its feature set?

I admit that I'm not familiar with docker, but I had assumed their import/export would deal with images. Or is that not true? See https://pot.pizzamig.dev/Images/

Thank you for this! For some reason, I missed this in my reading.
