Perhaps it is a bit premature to ask this question, but what is the big advantage to running Docker versus iocage jails? I've seen a lot of discussion about Docker, often in reference to setting up something like Plex, and it looks like getting everything up and running is quite complicated. Is there some killer app for which a FreeBSD version is not available?
I spent some time learning the basics of iocage, and I am certainly not an expert - but I can get an iocage jail up and running from the CLI in about 10-20 minutes. Mounting datasets is easy. Installing and updating applications from the package repositories is also easy.
What can I do in Docker that can't be done in a jail?
