Pot is a jail management tool that also supports orchestration through Nomad.

As a result of production testing in a real-world cluster deployment, pot and related projects received stability improvements for controlling the pot lifecycle (i.e., pot prepare/start/stop).
Various attributes and commands have been developed to improve support of nomad orchestration and batch jobs (e.g., change dns config during clone, ability to disable tmpfs, new last-run-stats command). A new pot release will follow soon.

Potluck aims to be to FreeBSD and pot what Dockerhub is to Linux and Docker: a repository of pot flavours and complete container images for usage with pot and in many cases nomad.

Many of the core images like Nomad, Consul and Vault that can be used to build a private cloud and orchestration platform, but also e.g. Prometheus or PostgreSQL Patroni, have reached a stable status over the last quarter and are in production use now.

To make navigating the evolving pot ecosystem easier, most project resources have been centralized in a dedicated github project: https://github.com/bsdpot

There, we plan to release ansible playbooks that allow easily creating a FreeBSD based orchestration environment from scratch based on all these tools.

As always, feedback and patches are welcome.
