If you haven't seen it, take a look at the sysutils/vm-bhyve port, it wraps up bhyve in a convenient form, and I've found it very easy to use. For your specific needs, I have no experience with docker. However, I've just set up a vm running Ubuntu so my wife has a second machine in house on which to run EnergyPlus. That all went fine apart from a few niggles about the keyboard. I made the mistake of telling Ubuntu I had a UK keyboard, forgetting that the console was virtualised via VNC, and the non-alphanumeric keys got scrambled. Setting Ubuntu's view of my keyboard to US ANSI fixed most of the problem. If you ssh into the vm keyboard layout doesn't matter anyway. -- The number of people predicting the demise of Moore's Law doubles every 18 months.
