LXC support in Truenas Scale

Description

What is LXC?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LXC

LXC is a containerized technology which runs "full" Linux OSes with less overhead than VMs does. The closest comparison to the BSD world are FreeBSD jails. The technology LXC uses is very similar to Docker, but with LXC you have a full OS experience. LXC will not replace Docker, but be an additon to Docker (if implemented in Scale).

With LXC in addtion with VMs and Docker, I think this could be a killer feature for TrueNAS Scale and make it a complete OS for both storage and virtualization (though LXC and Docker is not really virtualization).

Turns out we can already make 'jails' on TrueNAS SCALE without LXC. I'm working on jailmaker.sh. It creates persistent Debian 'jails' to install software (docker-compose, portainer, podman, etc.) with full access to all files via bind mounts. Without modifying the host OS at all thanks to systemd-nspawn! Currently still experimental, so looking for testers and contributions.

Kindly waiting for implementation of LXC, currently using proxmox and TrueNAS CORE in VM but native connected system is always better.

Right now, the lack of LXC support is the only thing keeping me from going from a “Proxmox + OMV(WM)” setup to Truenas Scale. Waiting eagerly…
