jails

I'm trying to install a web browser in a jail (something like this guy did with Linux containers: https://www.stgraber.org/2014/02/09/lxc-1-0-gui-in-containers/ ). I've successfully created the jail and installed Xorg and Firefox with iocage. Now I can't start Firefox, either with iocage exec...

I am currently trying to set up a server on FreeBSD. I want to create jails with ezjails according to the handbook. I am following the example to install BIND inside a jail but I am stuck at the installation step (make -C /usr/ports/dns/bind99 install clean). At first I thought I had a DNS...

I really dig sysutils/iocage. One of the coolest features is being able to take a jail snapshot. iocage snapshot lweb.autonlab.org which gives # iocage snaplist lweb.autonlab.org NAME CREATED RSIZE USED ioc-2015-08-30_23:17:03 Sun Aug 30 23:17 2015 152K 0 Removing snapshots is also...

Yesterday I put the source code online for a simple utility, Bastille, which facilitates the creation and management of jails that share the same system components. In that sense, it's similar to ezjail, but that's actually all Bastille does. Bastille does not provide its own service, relying...

I have a jail setup inside my FreeBSD installation. I do not allow ssh into the core system, just to the jail. Is there a way to restart the jail from inside itself?

I was hoping to install XFCE inside of a jailed environment. The idea behind this undertaking is to keep the base FreeBSD (jail host) with a very limited set of software and run a desktop client inside a jail. Thank you for replying. I forgot to mention that I read some ways to do it from few...

I was thinking about a dependency conflict [1] that prevents me from installing KDE4 and Gnome2 at same time and I came up with a fancy idea. Is it possible to install KDE4 in a jail, Gnome2 in another one and use them to draw on the X server running on the host system? Has anyone tried...
