FreBSD jails predate containers, same idea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD_jail

The ONLY thing docker did was make a small amount of questionable UX around the low-level container primitives. They did not invent anything, definitely not containers. I could share VM images before Docker, nothing new there... the concepts all existed before containers.
