general/other FreeBSD on Docker

[FlorinMarian]

Hello!
I haven't been in touch with the "FreeBSD world" for several months and I kind of missed the latest news.
Is it currently possible to compile with GCC a code in a temporary FreeBSD container? (in other words: there are images based on FreeBSD that can be expanded in Dockerfile ?)
Thanks!

No. If you want to use FreeBSD on a Linux host use KVM or Virtualbox, or Qemu. FreeBSD and Docker are incompatible technologies. If you want containers in FreeBSD (in a FreeBSD VM or on a FreeBSD host) use jails. Unfortunately we do not have a declarative container stack, but jails are great.

No. Linux can't run FreeBSD programs.

To run freebsd virtualbox might be your best option.
