I highly doubt it'll be a FreeBSD native docker. It'll be a Linux VM running docker with some abstraction to allow control via the FreeNAS UI.
If you did FreeBSD native docker, you'd still be locked out from using containers built for linux docker so you have to rebuild dockers for FreeBSD or try to rely on the FreeBSD Linux compatibility libraries which might not work 100%.
I see, so other than the convenience of managing containers purely from the GUI, there won't be much benefit to using a freenas baked in docker vs diy VM docker. Admittedly, there's a lot of cli interaction required to do these diy setups, even with a user-friendly platform like ubuntu, so there's certainly some appeal having it baked in. But personally, as long as I can get everything to auto-load on boot and not sacrifice performance, I'd be perfectly happy sticking with a diy setup like we're doing here.
Thanks for the insight.
