Hi! I want to share a tool I created to test my ports, to learn more about jails and just as a hobby.
This is AppJail, a simple and easy to use tool to create portable jails. My main motivation is a tool for system administrators and developers. The features are as follows: * Easy to use. * Parallel startup (Jails & NAT). * UFS and ZFS support. * RACCT/RCTL support. * NAT support. * Port expose - network port forwarding into jail. * IPv4 and IPv6 support. * DHCP and SLAAC support. * Virtual networks - A jail can be on several virtual networks at the same time. * Bridge support. * VNET support * Deploy your applications much easier using Makejail! * Netgraph support. * LinuxJails support. * Supports thin and thick jails. * TinyJails - Experimental feature to create a very stripped down jail that is very useful to distribute. * Startup order control - Using priorities and the boot flag makes management much easier. * Jail dependency support. * Initscripts - Make your jails interactive! * Backup your jails using tarballs or raw images (ZFS only) with a single command. * Modular structure - each command is a unique file that has its own responsability in AppJail. This makes AppJail maintenance much easier. * Table interface - many commands have a table-like interface, which is very familiar to many sysadmin tools. * No databases - each configuration is separated in each entity (networks, jails, etc.) which makes maintenance much easier. * Supervisor - Coming soon ... * ... AppJail has a useful feature called Makejail, which is somewhat similar to Dockerfile. The idea is to use a file that contains the steps to create a jail with its configured packages. Visit the main site: https://github.com/DtxdF/AppJail and the centralized repository for Makejails: https://github.com/AppJail-makejails I have created a bug to use it as a port: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=269631
