how to create your own docker image based on freebsd?

Does anyone know how to create your own docker image based on freebsd?
For example: create your own php image based on freebsd.

The closest you can get is probably sysutils/bastille, https://bastillebsd.org/templates/

This won't be a 'docker' image though, because you cannot run FreeBSD executables on Linux, that's not going to work.

I came to ask a related question. It seems there are official FreeBSD images available on docker Hub!? See https://hub.docker.com/u/freebsd . I'm super interested in this.

But, I get an error when I try to pull the images:

$ docker pull freebsd/freebsd-runtime:14.2
14.2: Pulling from freebsd/freebsd-runtime
no matching manifest for linux/amd64 in the manifest list entries

Granted, I could update docker for one thing (on version 24.0.5).
Has anyone run these yet? They show pulls on Docker hub.
