Daemonless is a bit the linuxserver.io of FreeBSD to me. It is a collection of standardized images.
Behind each image you have a Containerfile [0] and a compose.yaml [1]
And inside the Containerfile for Gitea you simply have a `RUN pkg install -y gitea` [2], so basically here it is the good old FreeBSD Gitea port [3]
I guess this is really a Linux/Docker users friendly wrapper on the 30 years old FreeBSD ecosystem?
When I came from Linux to FreeBSD, Gitea was one of the first service I ran in a jail to learn how it all works. What I was happy to discover is I just need to do `pkg -j mygiteajail install gitea` to install Gitea in the jail with all the rc scripts, etc.
The jail abstraction was just one option (`-y`) in pkg ! This is really the beauty of the all integrated FreeBSD. So to be honest the Daemonless have, in some case at least, made everything more complicated in my view...
