I understand that Linux native container can already run on BSD with
Linuxulator layer. But I would rather traduce Dockerfile to Bastillefile of
CBSDFile and go with native code.

IMO, the issue is not so much the container tech, we invented that in the
first place. The issue is not having a decent orchestrator / autoscaling
service.

Although I think that runj is the correct starting point:

https://github.com/samuelkarp/runj

Although I am not a k8s expert not sure if runj counts as an alternative to
k8s or more like container runtime for k8s. Would be nice that actual k8s
experts could chime in here ...
