Jail and apache

V

VampirD

Hello, due to a hardware failure I'm about to change my personal server to another so I decided to reinstall all. But I want you to suggest me about if I should install apache in a jail or not, actually it runs wordpress, mediawiki, owncloud and a linux repo
 
You can of course. But adding a jail does add complications administratively. Besides keeping the host up to date you also need to do it for the jail. Think of the jail as a separate machine, that usually works for me. It will take some extra effort and you need to weigh that against the improved security if it's worth it or not.
 
But if I install everything from source, keep everything up to date, I only need an extra make installworld for the jail, don't? I need to set up /etc/freebsd-update.conf to only update src.
 
And don't forget to keep the ports/packages up to date that are installed in the jail.
