Whenever I make my = donation to the FreeBSD Foundation, and they ask in the donation form = for comments on what you want them to work/focus on in the future, I = always put a plug in for a native bhyve driver for docker-machine. This = would go some way to putting it on a par with Docker under macOS, which = uses HyperKit to interface with the built-in hypervisor under macOS = (which is based on bhyve). MacOS is considered a "first class citizen" = under the Docker ecosystem, or at least has great support via Docker = Desktop. Last I looked, FreeBSD only supported VirtualBox with = docker-machine. It would be great to have native bhyve support. FreeBSD has great tools, but sometimes the tooling/integration lags = behind. :-( Cheers, Paul.=
