Re: Actual status of Docker (ready for production?)

Hello Alex,

most people use either Jails or Bhyve on FreeBSD.
I took over maintaining the Docker port a few days ago. I had another 
Docker port almost ready to use on FreeBSD about 2 years ago. Here, 
however, little time and too little manpower was the reason that it 
could not be implemented.
I would like to make a new attempt to make the Docker port usable.
Currently I would not recommend to use it in a productive environment, 
because it is also relatively expensive.

However, I don't want to make any promises that this time I will succeed 
in getting Docker running on FreeBSD so that it can be used productively.

Cheers
Jochen
