Hello everyone. This is my first post in FreeBSD forums as a Linux user of 3 years. My question stems to using FreeBSD using K8s/K3s or Docker in general. I have read documentation on jails which has piqued my interest. However, I have not found much documentation on utilizing the services. Also, I have questions in regards to the compatibility of other services when using FreeBSD.
My questions have to deal mostly with containerization using K8s/K3s. I have noticed the following:
- Many FreeBSD evangelicals who use FreeBSD have a disdain for Docker (which I can understand since we might as well use nerdctl). Is jails a substitute for Docker, or would nerdctl be a better option?
- Searching the web, I don't see much implementation of K8s/K3s homelabs with FreeBSD. Is K8s/K3s difficult to setup on FreeBSD? (I wrote an Ansible script to setup K3s on my homelab with Debian Bullseye but when I look online, I cannot find any references for setting K3s up on my servers I have except using bhyve which I do not want to virtualize a Linux image. There is a reason why I want to move away from Linux.)
- As for adding projects such as Jellyfin, Wazuh, Calibre, etc, once containerized will these cause any issues on FreeBSD? Random question I know but just curious.
Thanks for the help in answering my generalized questions! Complete noob to this world and would love to learn more in why FreeBSD is used with companies like Netflix and Juniper.
