Significant progress has been made in the last year or two. I don't have any specific guides, but, runj network is working: https://samuel.karp.dev/blog/2022/12/docker-style-networking-for-freebsd-jails-with-runj/ Also, podman is apparently working: https://medium.com/@dfr/oci-containers-for-freebsd-512a6df2bc85 which should get you what you need, ask podman is OCI compliant and mostly compatible w/ docker, see: https://soc.crashed.org/objects/2d51da12-7262-4576-bf53-0ea6a61d0da0 The last message is on the dev version of FreeBSD, I'm not sure if it will run on 13 if you need it to run on a RELEASE, but it likely should work. -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
