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.
