Since container orchestration is a topic that is coming up all the time 
and where FreeBSD has some perceived and a lot of real catch-up to do, 
IMHO that is an excellent idea.

A few ideas regarding pot:

* You might want to add a link to the "Orchestrating jails with nomad 
and pot“ talk available 
at https://papers.freebsd.org/2020/fosdem/pizzamig-orchestrating_jails_with_nomad_and_pot/
* There is a package called „minipot“ that can be installed with „pkg 
install minipot“ that showcases with a simple setup how one can run 
Nomad, Consul, Traefik with pot and the Nomad Pot 
driver: https://github.com/pizzamig/minipot
* I have posted a three-part series on how to set up Nomad, Consul and 
Traefik by using Potluck on my blog 
at https://honeyguide.eu/posts/virtual-dc1/
* The idea behind Potluck (which is very early stages) in turn is to 
become something like Dockerhub for Pot (and 
Nomad/Consul): https://potluck.honeyguide.net/

Best regards

Stephan
