If you run a normal startup with /etc/rc then that container will
expect all the freebsd goodies - syslog, utx, cron, mailer, etc.
It will be more familiar but also fatter.

If you manually trim down the dependencies, *and* your application
permits it, you can choose just to run your minimal app. It will
require experimentation.

If you do that, no issues, *but* the container will exit as soon as rc.conf
startup finished (as the ENTRYPOINT or CMD has completed). OCI containers
are not the same as jails in this respect, by default.

A+
