According to https://wiki.freebsd.org/Containers
#podman has been ported #FreeBSD . is it "production ready"?
I also see that there are a **lot** of #Containers tools.

FreeBSD "invented" containers with jails more than 20 years ago :)

@timothy of course, of course. I knew FreeBSD really invented containers 😀
As I wish to try actually using #FreeBSD I was trying to understand if I should learn it "the BSD way" or if their version of podman is "robust enough"

@timothy I prefer rule: "when you are in Rome, you have to act as Romans do." 😉 I was using Docker and co when I was using Linux, but after switching to #FreeBSD I use jails. They are much easier to use for me. And definitely better integrated into the system.
