Just this week the foundation dropped an article about OCI compliant containeraztion: https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/oci-containers-on-freebsd...

Thats cool I knew those were coming but the most interesting thing in here is that it seems to be running the Linux images under the Linuxlator (hence he had to enable the linux service) as opposed to creating a Linux VM like the other operating system do. Pretty cool!

This is awesome. I have an Omada container running on my desktop that would be great to move to my FreeBSD server.

In what sense? FreeBSD had containers before anyone heard about Docker ;)

Yeah talk about reinventing the wheel so Linux people don’t have to learn a slightly different system (one that is ironically easier to use and better organized than Oci containers).

Jails are not containers.

By what definition would LXC be containers and jails not be?

Jails are great but are not OCI-compliant.

Then Podman for FreeBSD exists for a while too.

But it relied on Linux virtual machines didn't it?

So? They predate a standard which was basically extracted from Docker.

I think the OCI factor being noted here is the packaging not the containerized runtime.
