jails

I thought this would be clearly spelled out somewhere but if it is I can't find it. Under the ezjail section in the handbook it includes a couple parts about creating an extra loopback for a jail. First you create it with cloned_interfaces="lo1" in /etc/rc.conf, and then in the example jail it...

we are running some jails in FreeBSD 10 and the decision has been made to decommission the FreeBSD server and migrate all the jails to Linux environment Red Hat 6 or 7. Is there a straight forward way of migrating BSD jails to linux -- as containers that can be run via docker or any other way...

I'm trying to get the following scheme up and running: What would be a good read to start except of jail man page?

Hello, I'm currently running a server based on FreeBSD 10.3. I'm using jails to separate all the running services. Since I only have one public IPv4 address, I use PF and a nginx-proxy to redirect to the specific jails inside the NAT. My plan is to use 11.0 and it's enhanced bhyve features to...

Hello, I'm currently my FreeBSD machine and I wondering what'S best option to adress a jail with IP. my ifconfig re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=8209b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_MAGIC,LINKSTATE>...

I installed prosody in a jail redirect the traffic to it with pf. With this config: rdr on $EXT proto { tcp, udp } from any to any port $XMPP_PORTS -> 10.0.0.11 And for unknown reasons at least for me the s2s part just fails with error messages like this Sep 27 20:39:21 s2sin804074c40 info...

Since FreeBSD 11 is here, I am tempted to simplify our server setup, and use Bhyve also for all jail needs. I would not mind exchanging a small percentage of available CPU for more simplicity, but does it make sense to standardise on Bhyve vs Jails, in order to simplify setup and workflow? In...

I'm considering setting up Owncloud on my FreeBSD 10.3 server in a jail, but I'm wondering about being able to connect to files outside the jail. I have a pretty sizeable file collection (photos, docs, etc.) on the server now (not jailed) that I will want to connect to from Owncloud inside the...

This post is for anyone who may be using a jail, and after you set the jail to run at startup, PF rules are not loading (on the host machine). The odd thing that made me scratch my head is that you can manually start it and everything works; something is uniquely happening at startup that is...

Hi, Traffic coming out of my jails seems to be very slow so I ran a tcpdump on my external interface to see what is going on and I get a whole slew of TCP Out of Order and TCP Duplicate ACK in Wireshark. I am talking pages full when any traffic is going out of the jails. Traffic going into the...

I have a VPS on Digitalocean which I used mfsbsd to reinstall FreeBSD with ZFS/zroot with PF as my firewall. My plan with this VPS is to run wordpress, a static site and owncloud each in their own jails. Currently, I use nginx on the host machine running as a reverse proxy, intercepting https...

I am wondering about using sysutils/webmin in a jail as I would like to use the best security practices available. My question is the very nature of Webmin being a server monitoring service with a webgui, would all the features work? My question is how could you "sandbox' webmin in a jail and...

Hi, What's the best practise to handle the prots tree with iocage managed basejails? Currently I am manually nullfs mounting the host systems /usr/ports everytime I need it in each jail, but as the number of jails are growing this feels more and more cumbersome. Please advice! Thanks in...

Starting and stopping the jail works fine when I stick to console apps. I can also successfully launch and use graphical jailed apps on the host display using e.g., jailme 1 firefox, but I cannot cleanly stop the jail after closing jailed graphical apps from my host X display. Here is my...

Hi all, I want to create a jail with a publicly routable IPv6 address and a 192.168.0.0/16 IPv4 address. I also do not want the have the interface shared with the base OS, such that listening on port 80 on the base also listens to port 80 on the jails. I do not see where that is in any...

Please accept my apologies ahead of time as I could not find an appropriate room for questions on jails. I have a FreeBSD box (10.1) with two jails on them (also 10.1) that I am using for testing and understanding purposes before I implement something more permanent. I have them both in...

Hi! I setup a Jail, but it is listening on the same ports as the base OS. So, if the base is listening on port 80, the Jail IP also has port 80 listening. No service is listening on that port. Using ezjail-admin, I setup a Jail called code. I modified the export_jail_code_ip line of...

I'm currently trying to chroot bind from within a Jail since it's also running Apache. The problem I'm having is the inability to mount devfs from within the jail. I'm using ezjail to managed all my jails and have everything regarding devfs turned on in the ezjail configuration files.

Hello, I recently installed FreeBSD on my new server. Right now I have one jail running with transmission on it, seeding different Ubuntu versions. Couldn't get the port working, but the package worked excellent. So now I want to create two other jails. One with a NFS/Samba share and one which...

Hey people, I was looking for some info about whats the best way to keep jails updated and found many posts saying to never run freebsd-update inside of the jails. Someone could explain why not? Actually I am doing a make world, but this take so many time. My jails have the empty folders...
