Scroll to the bottom of the side bar to access the latest FreeNAS guide. I’ve seen that unhelpful error message, but I did manage to create a “Docker VM” using the new UI in FreeNAS-11.2-MASTER-201805250605
Thanks, I'll try this, in the next couple of weeks. It definitely does not feel right to me in the currently nightly builds.

I’m not sure what makes you says this. As far as I can tell, behind the New UI nothing has fundamentally changed for “Virtual Machines”. Creating a “Docker VM” via the new UI still downloads an out of date 1.1.3 rancheros base which the user cannot upgrade. Hard coding the rancheros version seems to break one of the most basic rules of software development, as I understand it.
(See: /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/middlewared/plugins/vm.py )
So look I suppose I'm kicking a dead horse or stirring a bees nest here, but is there a reason why it's still pulling down an old ISO file?
How hard is it to fix this? Are there any requests / bugs logged about it?
(I think I best re-read this whole thread, properly)
EDIT: I've re-read the thread properly, people keep making a point of saying it's broken and won't be / can't or isn't fixed but not entirely clear why?
If bhyve is slowly improving and rancher has released newer and presumably better versions of the OS, why is it not pulling down that newer version?
If people here were content with docker support on FN10, which was also virtualised, why can't we attain at least that quality here?
