I hate being the guy that defends Linux here, but, at least with
Linuxcontainers.org, the images are built using publicly available
scripts:
https://github.com/lxc/lxc-ci

Then one could build their own containers from a script. The images:
https://us.images.linuxcontainers.org/images/

can be used as jails or chroots, provided there is some level of
binary compatibility. Major Linux distros offer their own
docker/containers images.

I wouldn't knock dockers/containers, granted that FreeBSD was there
first with jails.
