@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?

In response to this post@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)
@gsuberland @dragonarchitect Ahh, gotcha. I'm a big LXC fan (e.g. under Proxmox and OpenWRT) and install a lot of my services by hand still, but I've always felt maintaining those is /more/ effort than a pre-built container based solution, simply because you can't just pull the latest container and be done with it, you have to update the base OS and the application on top individually for each jail/LXC :/
