Hi,

I just joined the list and unable to reply to prior mails in the thread.

This is relevant to containers on FreeBSD.

When using containers in complicated setups, you often want a 'service mesh' 
which is a way for containers to reliably talk to each other, and across 
servers.

A common approach for users of consul & nomad is to make use of envoy as a 
sidecar, however envoy is not building on FreeBSD due to BoringSSL 
dependency and other issues.

  Why is Envoy broken on FreeBSD?

Other approaches are to use nginx reverse proxies as sidecar containers, or 
other solutions like Istio, which is available in Freshports
https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/istio

I don't have a specific point other than it would be nice to have Envoy 
working in ports, or some ideas for solutions for service meshs and containers.
