Installing software in ten jails means downloading it ten times. You don't have to do that.
Jails that share the host's ABI and repo can share one pkg cache:
bastille mount TARGET /var/cache/pkg /var/cache/pkg nullfs rw 0 0
The first request pays the download fee. Every request after installs straight from cache. bastille mount even writes it to the jail's fstab, so it survives restarts.

Seven years of running FreeBSD on ThinkPads alongside Linux — lessons I'd give my younger self
<https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1tedyva/seven_years_of_running_freebsd_on_thinkpads/> @Darknessraptor
＂I daily-drive Linux at work and FreeBSD on my personal ThinkPads (T480 & P52 currently). Both laptops and both operating systems, every day. I'm the kind of person who reads freebsd-update output and Phoronix benchmarks in the same hour.
＂Recently saw the "is FreeBSD really that goated" thread and it brought back the timeline of my own journey. Started with a rough —call it version 0.9 — build that barely had X11 working, evolved through five iterations, landed on something I'd call "production-stable personal desktop" around version 2.0 on FreeBSD 15.0 with a heavily customized MATE, ZFS boot environments, BastilleBSD jails for microservices, WireGuard tunnels and PF.
＂If I could send a packet back in time to my earlier self, here's what I'd put in the payload: …＂
