What problem are you trying to solve with docker?

    There is a misunderstanding. I am not trying to solve any problem. The
    team I am working with is using docker during development (by using a
    preconfigured container they avoid having to setup a complex backend
    system on development/CI machines). I was hoping to use FreeBSD during
    the development but it proved difficult. I now have a choice of either
    switching to Linux natively (as bhyve didn't help) or to use MacBook Pro
    - both supporting docker out of the box.

    Thanks

Does it have to be docker? When I faced similar problem, I thought it was wise to invest time in development inside jail, so I wrote Reggae based on CBSD. I'll publish a bugfix version as soon as i get back from FOSDEM so you might give it a try. I wrote few ansible playbooks for services I needed in jail like PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, mail based on postfix+dovecot, etc. Reggae is inspired by docker compose and Vagrant, hence you can run multiple jails per project, like docker compose.


Well, only I am using FreeBSD. The others are using Macs for development. So technically it makes more sense for me to use their tools rather than trying to convince them to switch to FreeBSD and use jails.

Reggae sounds great but sadly it's not going to help me here.

I always liked Bryan Cantrill’s dissection of Docker’s virtues here:

https://www.joyent.com/blog/dockers-killer-feature

And I’ve seen a few people suggest the most crucial contribution of docker was the docker image format.


Good read, thanks. This all boils down to simplicity as being the ultimate sophistication. People are lazy (in the good sense) and don't want to be reinventing the wheel. They would pay more for a device/software that solves more of their problems and is easier to use (vide MacOS vs Windows with their ecosystems), so that they can finish earlier and get on with their lives.

I may be enjoying compiling packages on FreeBSD and manually configuring the network but I can hardly expect someone from my team to do the same. Docker simplifies their life and I can't blame them for using it. I can only wish there was a similar tool to achieve the same with bhyve/jail.
