ezjail

Hi all, First of all, apologies if this was covered elsewhere, or is blatantly obvious. I am very new to FreeBSD, have been trying to figure this out for the better part of a day, and don't really have anywhere else useful to post something that might be helpful for other people trying to set...

Because I made a (huge) mistake in a config file I ran into a problem that took me long to solve because I missed out on obvious error messages when my jails started. I guess with the way jails work, the behavior that I encountered is just how it is, not a bug. But I do want to describe it...

So my initial problem was solved before I made this post (don't use - in $name) but I'm here to ask your help in aiding me to find the changes and showing me, where to look/read. I have multiple flavours one of them called basic-dns On first run /etc/rc.d/ezjail_flavour_basic-dns is called...

I have tried to google and forum-search all of last weekend to solve the following problem: Where do I get base.txz and kernel.txz for my BeagleBone Black? Specifically, I want to setup some jails on my BBB, but for that I need the DISTRIBUTION files... root@beaglebone:~ # ezjail-admin install...

Hey Geniuses, I am wondering if anyone knows if ezjail-admin's archive feature that tar.gz's /usr/jails/[ezjailname] does more than just tar.gz it? I am having difficulties archiving and restoring without pax errors (part 2, etc) which are beyond 2GB (I don't have an ezjail-admin archive in...

I have an ezjail-admin question for experienced system administrators. Is there an archive limit? I was able to archive and restore from FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE to a FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE and it worked. The one archive of a jail that exceeds 4GB; ZFS are my filesystem(s). 14GB or so, give or take...

I am running a few jails via ezjail. Nginx and pf on the main host take care of routing incoming requests to the appropriate jail. Each jail needs to run different instances of the same service - Apache and MySQL. Please help me get the set up right for doing this^^. As far as I understand...

Im new to freebsd and jails, please be patient. according to the freebsd documentation, one should create a cloned loopback for a jail instance. I can't get behind the purpose of creating multiple loopback interfaces. can someone explain me this? Should I create a new lo interface for each...

On my system, pkg within jails seems to complain about the version numbers. I have checked the older posts (mostly from late last year) in this category, but I don't believe they solve my problem. Symptoms: Issuing a pkg update within a jail gave the apparently common error But, doing uname...

FreeBSD-12.0p7 We created a jail using ezjail-admin and configured it for bind 911 using ipv4 [192.168.209.133] (DNS02). Everything works including rndc. We then shut down the jail and archived it using ezjail-admin. We transferred the archived jail to another server and used ezjail-admin...

I'm using ezjail and IPFW, at least thus far. So far I have 10.13.13.0/8 subnet. My gateway is .1, my host server is .2, and my first jail is at .3 I noticed that from within my jail at .3 I can knock on the outside if .2. I added this rule to my host but it makes no difference: add 10032...

Hello, Im getting into jails I want to move away some KVM vms, and transform it into jails. My goal is to optimize (even more with jails) all resources, specially storage. Currently Im running 2 vms with FreeBSD, vm1 has PHP7.1 and MariaDB and vm2 has PHP5.6 with MySQL. (vm1 should have more...

Hi folks. I'd appreciate a help to discover what's wrong with sysutils/ezail. The service is started but never return the therminal, as you see below. Though, the jail is up and running, but never available through ezjail-admin . [@machine jails #] service ezjail onestart...

Hi, I'm new to FreeBSD and jails... and I have difficulties with setting up networking inside a jail. The jail management utility I use is ezjail. I tried different utilities (iocage, qjail, cbsd etc.) but without success. My host system: FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p10 #0: Tue May 8 05:21:56 UTC...

After almost a couple years away, I'd like to know about jails management systems, for a new server. In the past I've used ezjail, then qjail. Now, in 2018, are all these tools up-to-date with current? ezjail is mentioned in the manual, so I guess it should be... iocage seems to require Python...

Hey Guys. Following problem: Inside a jail I can ping my nameserver, i can ping someones ip adress but I cant ping a domain name. I cant install pkg or anything else inside a jail, because its not working. I set up my jails with ezjail. I created a fresh jail but its not working. I have set my...

Good day - I've come across a weird problem with installing ports in a new jail. Using FreeBSD 11.1 with ezjail, updated with the latest patches. You may suggest to install the package, but I want to change something in the defaults (MySQL support). Host System # uname -a FreeBSD...
