alt Hacker News> And I like FreeBSD jails.
If you don't know about them already, you may be interested in service jails (forthcoming[1] in 15):
> A service jail shares the complete filesystem tree directly with the host (the jail root path is /) and as such can access and modify any file on the host, and shares the same user accounts with the host. By default it has no access to the network or other resources which are restricted in jails, but they can be configured to re-use the network of the host and to remove some of the jail-restrictions.

Sounds interesting, but it sounds like that would mean installing the service software and it's dependencies into the root filesystem. I'm relatively sure I don't want that, as it would create a big mess on the host. I have stuff like Nextcloud in my jails, and wouldn't want to install PHP and all of it's deps outside the dedicated filesystem of the jail.
But it's very cool to see continued development, jails are such an awesome feature!
