IMHO, FreeBSD Jails are more closely analogous to LXD (https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/) in Linux than they are to Docker or LXC.  (But, you could mimic jails using LXC or Docker.)  Somewhat confusingly, the LXD binary used to interact with LXD "jails" is called "lxc". :-)

(LXD is built atop Linux's LXC.)
