Proposal: working group for FreeBSD runtime

[dfr]

With two working OCI runtimes for FreeBSD (runj, ocijail) and several container engines including containerd, podman and cri-o, there is a need to define a FreeBSD-specific section of the runtime-spec to allow support for platform features such as resource limits and fine-grained jail permissions. This will help to ensure runtime compatibility and build a consensus for the best way to support FreeBSD container runtimes.

I'm also happy to help @dfr and @samuelkarp getting this done, in what ever way is required.

[dfr]

I made a minimal suggestion for a FreeBSD config extension here: https://github.com/dfr/runtime-spec/tree/freebsd-spec. This just allows setting a subset of the jail parameters to be used when creating a container jail.

@gtewallace Are there other members of the FreeBSD community who are interested in either being an owner or actively participating in the WG?

owner or participant?

Participant. Sorry for being vague.

Participant. Sorry for being vague.

Ok, I was just wondering whether or not to change the owners section of the WG proposal.
