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

During this quarter, Pot 0.15.6 was finished, adding custom pf(4) rule configuration hooks.

Additionally, Nomad Pot Driver 0.9.1 that allows setting Pot attributes in Nomad job descriptions was released.

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.

Quite a few new container images were made available, e.g. a Caddy S3 proxy, a Mastodon instance, and a Redis container. In total there are now 50 containers available that can either be downloaded as ready-made images at the Potluck image registry, if you trust our build process, or that you can build yourself from the Pot flavour files stored in the Potluck GitHub repository.

The July/August 2023 edition of the FreeBSD Journal contains Luca’s Jail Orchestration with pot and nomad article, explaining how to use Pot and Potluck together with Nomad to orchestrate containers on multiple hosts.

Last but not least, a patch (90b1184d93c8) added build cluster support to the devel/sccache port.

As always, feedback and patches are welcome.
