In my humble opinion Docker can run on FreeBSD. You both need to define what you mean by "run docker", or perhaps just what aspects of docker you expect to see working (or not) in FreeBSD and how. Layering Linux filesystem images from docker.io and running them is very unlikely to be feasible. Defining ocijails with Dockerfiles and running them as swarms is likely to be possible with some work. Then you can do a gap analysis and find out what needs to be done to make it run or prove that it can't be done depending mostly on what you mean by "run docker". Having done that the next question is whether the result would fill a real need. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith <steve@sohara.org>
