VNET jails are great, especially now that they're stable, but I'd strongly recommend using a higher level tool. I've settled on iocage, but there are a few other tools out there that seem to have gained traction. Nobody sets up cgroups by hand, right?



A couple of tools which are both working on jail management & packaging

- bastille https://bastillebsd.org

- pot https://potluck.honeyguide.net

bastille is great for personal and small setups, pot is aimed at larger scale and meant to be used along with hashicorp nomad+consul


What is the state of pot in summer 2023? Is it ready for production?


Depends on your workloads and needs. It's not as mature as k8s and there are rough edges but if you're into the Hashicorp ecosystem and can run your workloads in FreeBSD jails it's pretty slick - think golang & rust apps, web, gaming servers, etc
