Föderation · Do 27.03.2025 18:06:02 FreeBSD jails: I am just now starting on them, do I use base jail tools, or are there ports that are great for managing jails? Reading documentation now, but wanted to get some good opinions. #FreeBSD #FreeBSDJails |
Föderation · Do 27.03.2025 19:15:46 I recommend using the base tools until you're comfortable with the concepts, then I recommend iocage |

Föderation · Do 27.03.2025 21:25:28 I never used bastille because it didn't work very well with zfs. I've heard things have got better. I also don't like their weird obsession with calling jails 'containers', but that's not a meaningful technical matter. |
Föderation EN Do 27.03.2025 21:30:35 @khm I thought sysutils/iocage{-devel} wasn't up to speed yet¹, due to some features not being ported and other known issues ¹ After the project was archived back on Apr 4, 2024, and picked up at https://github.com/freebsd/iocage/ |
Föderation · Do 27.03.2025 22:22:33 I'm running it and I haven't hit any problems that old iocage didn't have. |
Föderation EN Do 27.03.2025 20:15:45 @thedaemon I got burned by adopting iocage, and then it was abandoned. I'll go without a helper app next time I want to deploy jails. |
Föderation · Do 27.03.2025 21:30:26 iocage is maintained, just not by ixSystems any more: https://github.com/freebsd/iocage |
