IIRC there have been two projects to port docker. One was using jails for containerisation, the other was doing it the Linux way somehow. Given the way Docker is used (for running downloaded preconfigured binary containers) that it's not really a BSD ethos thing.

Anyway, both Docker ports stopped. Docker is a moving target, and I think that had a lot to do with it.

As Duffner said -  bhyve. It you're containerising BSD applications just unpack a tarball into a jail. Unless you want K8S functionally. Last time I looked there was nothing doing on that front.
