This is a guide on using ezjail to create a jail on FreeBSD 10. h2. Prepare the Environment * Make sure the system is up to date: <pre> pkg update && pkg upgrade </pre> h2. Install Ezjail * Install ezjail: <pre> pkg install ezjail </pre> * Create the base jail with the system sources and a ports tree: <pre> ezjail-admin install -p </pre> #* *NOTE*: To add system sources add the -s flag * (Optional) Update the basejail with freebsd-update: freebsd-update. Just run: <pre> freebsd-update fetch install ezjail-admin update -u </pre> #* To upgrade a jail to a specific version: <pre> ezjail-admin update -U -s 11.0-RELEASE mergemaster -U -D /usr/jails/jail.exameple.com </pre> * To update the base jail's ports tree, which all jails also have read-only access to: <pre> ezjail-admin update -P </pre> * Make an rc.conf entry to ensure the jail will be started at boot and gets the IP it needs: <pre> </pre> * Next, create the actual jail. Give it a hostname and the IP address from before: <pre> ezjail-admin create jail.example.com 192.168.100.5 </pre> #* *NOTE*: If using multiple interfaces for the jail, specify the IP address for each interface: <pre> ezjail-admin create jail.example.com 'em0|10.0.2.0/24,em1|192.168.100.5/24' </pre> * Copy your resolv.conf to the jail so it can do DNS. <pre> cp /etc/resolv.conf /usr/jails/jail.example.com/etc/ </pre> * Start and enable the service at boot: <pre> echo 'ezjail_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf service ezjail start </pre> * Check whether your jail is running: <pre> jls </pre> #* _Example output_: <pre> JID IP Address Hostname Path 1 192.168.100.13 jail.example.com /usr/jails/jail.example.com </pre> * From here, you can get a root shell in the jail and start setting things up as you would with a normal FreeBSD system. <pre> ezjail-admin console jail.example.com </pre> #* Start and enable the sshd service at boot: <pre> echo 'sshd_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf service sshd start </pre> * Moving jails between hosts is easy with minimal configuration changes. Stop the example jail and archive it to a file: <pre> ezjail-admin stop jail.example.com ezjail-admin archive jail.example.com </pre> * The archived file should appear in /usr/jails/ezjail_archives. You can securely transfer the file to another server, make a new basejail and put the archive in place. <pre> scp jail.example.com.tar.gz offsite.example.com:/usr/jails/ezjail_archives ezjail-admin create -a /usr/jails/ezjail_archives/jail_example_com.tar.gz jail.example.com 192.168.100.5 ezjail-admin start jail.example.com </pre> h2.
