sysutils/ezjail is a simplified way to install and configure jails.
Contents |
[edit] Installing and updating
Install ezjail:
% cd /usr/ports/sysutils/ezjail % make install clean
Then create the basejail, manpages, source and ports tree in the basejail:
% ezjail-admin install -msp
In order to update the basejail through quick binary, and ports:
% ezjail-admin update -uP
For a better understanding of the options, type:
% man ezjail % man ezjail-admin
- Note: the -s flag has a different function when using the options install and update.
[edit] Configuring
The custom configuration for each jail is in /usr/local/etc/ezjail/myjail, and it it's jailed /etc directory. Pre-setup of jails can be configured in /usr/local/etc/ezjail.conf. The text in these two files are similar except one lacks the the term export.
[edit] Network
For the network to work, the alias line in rc.conf must match the ip address in /usr/local/etc/ezjail/myjail. Also, the jailed /etc/ files resolv.conf and hosts must be functional:
Example rc.conf:
ifconfig_wlan0_alias0="inet 192.168.1.20 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
#cloned_interfaces="${cloned_interfaces} lo1"
ezjail_enable="YES"
and initial jail set up from the commandline, which will correspond to /usr/local/etc/ezjail/myjail:
% ezjail-admin create myjail 192.168.1.20 % cp /etc/resolv.conf /usr/jails/myjail/etc/
Your created jailname file in the directory /usr/local/etc/ezjail/ is where ping usage can be turned on:
export jail_jailname_parameters="allow.raw_sockets=1" # This allows network programs including ping to be used from the jail
[edit] Accessing hardware
The line export ezjail_devfs_ruleset="devfsrules_jail" in /usr/local/etc/ezjail/myjail, refers to [devfsrules_jail] in /etc/defaults/devfs.rules.
To create custom rules, create /etc/devfs.rules, which will override defaults. Create a [devfsrules_jail] section header, that matches the header in /etc/defaults/devfs.rules.
To access the X display from jail, use the Xnest command from x11-servers/xorg-nestserver . See Xnest(1) for information.
[edit] Filesystems
Jail uses the module nullfs; it may be quickloaded or compiled into the kernel:
% kldload nullfs % echo 'nullfs_load="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
options NULLFS
[edit] Starting
% ezjail-admin start
- restart and stop are other options.
To see your jail and log in to it type:
% ezjail-admin list % ezjail-admin console myjail
Once inside the jail, configure your date, and network settings similarly to how its done in the root operating system.
From outside the jail, the program jexec may run a program from inside the jail:
% jexec myjail program
[edit] Archiving a jail
% ezjail-admin stop myjail % ezjail-admin archive myjail % ls /usr/jails/ezjail-archives/
