One was using jails for containerisation, the other was doing it the Linux way somehow.

Unless you want K8S functionally. Last time I looked there was nothing doing on that front. I will be working with a team that uses docker for development, i.e. they have docker containers preconfigured with dependencies in particular versions that they install with docker in order to reduce amount of time needed to configure the development. I was trying to see if I could use FreeBSD with docker support or I will have to switch to Linux. I did use bhyve with CentOS in another project but that approach wouldn't quite work in this situation as for my understanding, unless you propose that I run docker on a Linux distribution running in bhyve?
