@snep @dragonarchitect to give you an example of how nice this was on CORE:
create jail
it has its own IP
you can mount paths from the pool onto it
you install stuff just like you would anywhere else
that's it

In response to this post@snep @dragonarchitect for example I have a jail that runs a python script every minute, which pulls some data from sensors and pushes them into influxdb. setting that up was as easy as making a jail, installing python, writing the script, adding it to crontab.
I can't replicate that here, at least without a lot of manual fucking about.
@gsuberland @dragonarchitect I know that I most likely can't say anything that won't sound like me trying to evangelize you over to Docker, which isn't really my intention in any way, I'm just curious about your viewpoints. But I will say that it sounds roughly like the same amount of work to set this up, be it with Docker or in a jail!

@snep @dragonarchitect another example: I wrote some tooling in .NET that scans my music directory, pulls out tag data, fetches additional info from various internet sources and local sources, normalises everything, and saves it back to the files. there's an additional little static HTML/JS webapp that shows me info about the process, served from nginx. all of that is in a container, was trivial to get up and running. just installed dotnet/nginx, set up services.
can't replicate that in SCALE.

In response to this post@gsuberland @dragonarchitect So it was basically a blank container akin to LXCs that you've got to install your own software into? Where there templates with already pre-set up applications and maintainers behind those?
@snep @dragonarchitect they had "plugins" which were maintained scripts that configured/updated a specific thing in a jail for you, e.g. for Plex or whatever, but you could manually do it by just creating a jail and using it like its own little OS (event though it was running on the same kernel; very similar to lxc)
