Docker-freebsd won't work

Hello,

I have been trying to get docker to work on an experimental server with FreeBSD, tried both 10.3 and 11.0-RC3 without any luck.

Following https://wiki.freebsd.org/Docker, iI get the following:
Code:
# docker pull centos
latest: Pulling from centos

Then trying to run a Plex container:
Code:
# docker run --net=host -e VERSION=latest linuxserver/plex
Unable to find image 'linuxserver/plex:latest' locally

The only thing I have managed to get going is an ubuntu image:
Code:
# docker run -t -i ubuntu /bin/bash
root@:/#

Have anyone else had this problem? Or know how to solve it?

Thanks!
 
AFAIK Docker doesn't really work on FreeBSD. You should better try Tredly: www.tredly.com or Jetpack: https://github.com/3ofcoins/jetpack
Those seem interesting, but the availability of pre-built containers compared to docker is very slim.

SmartOS supports Docker and you can run FreeBSD in KVM as well as Linux, or run Linux on bare metal in an lx-brand zone.
I really want it to run on my freebsd machine or I will just stick with my current setup. :)

It's in ports, so it really should work.

There's a patch to be merged here you could try: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211565
Yeah, I thought so too.
I tried the patch with no luck.
 
I have the same problem when I try to pull the collabora/code repo, which is based on the ubuntu:16:04 image. I'm not sure how to pull only the dependent images

Code:
docker pull ubuntu:16.04

The above works, but seems to pull a different image.

This appears to still be broken and there's a bug open for it: PR 211041.
