LXCs are pretty similar to jails, and Sylve makes them really easy to use. One nice trick is that you can template a base jail and clone it any number of times straight from the UI, no need to drop into a shell and script it like I used to.

Another underrated part of FreeBSD is pkg. It’s often simpler than Linux package management. For example, installing Jellyfin on Debian or Ubuntu means adding a third party repo and dealing with updates, but on FreeBSD it’s just `pkg install jellyfin`. With pkgbase, even system updates are simple, just `pkg update && pkg upgrade` and you’re done, without worrying about breaking your system.
