I also looked into it some time ago. Docker is Linux only.
To run docker on say a freebsd, one has to go through
several steps that result, eventually, in installing a linux VM
(for freebsd the steps are described here:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/LinuxJails )
After those are done, docker can be installed within those linux VMs.
there are docker alternatives, of course, but docker itself needs linux.

Still, it's not clear to me whether there's a container solution
(although
i assume you'd mention if there was.). What about VM solution?
thanks,
Tiran.
Docker is really Linux only(*), so your only solution would be to run
Linux in a VM and then used that to run Docker.
Other than a because I can or as an occoasional development/testing
thing it wouldn't really seem to make sense to add the extra layer of
complexity.
