Setting up FreeBSD 10.3 Jails
Just some rough working notes on setting up FreeBSD 10.3 jails in 2016. I've done this from a fresh install from a virtual image on the FreeBSD downloads page- so literally from an empty, bare minimum base image. I noted that older documentation seems to leave out key details, is incompatible with current builds, etc. Thought it would be worth documenting what I did in order to get jails working nicely, in case someone else finds it of use. Get the base of ezJail set up, as advised by the FreeBSD documentation : echo 'cloned_interfaces="lo1"' >> /etc/rc.conf echo 'ezjail_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf pkg boostrap pkg install ezjail Set up /usr/ports so we have something to base our jails off, and then create the base jail (this will implicitly do a make installworld). This will take fucking ages. Maybe chain the commands together (using ';') and grab a coffee or 7. svn checkout https://svn.FreeBSD.org/ba
