create ====== Create a jail uning any available bootstrapped release. To create a jail, simply provide a name, bootstrapped release, and IP address. The format is ``bastille create NAME RELEASE IP [INTERFACE]`` Note that the ``interface`` is optional. Bastille will use the default interface that is configured when running the setup command. See ``bastille setup -l`` or ``bastille setup -s``. .. code-block:: shell ishmael ~ # bastille create folsom 11.3-RELEASE 10.17.89.10 [INTERFACE] RELEASE: 11.3-RELEASE. NAME: folsom. IP: 10.17.89.10. This command will create a 11.3-RELEASE jail, assigning the 10.17.89.10 ip address to the new jail. .. code-block:: shell ishmael ~ # bastille create alcatraz 13.2-RELEASE 10.17.89.113/24 The above code will create a jail with a /24 mask. At the time of this documentation you can only use CIDR notation, and not use a netmask 255.255.255.0 to accomplish this. I recommend using private (rfc1918) ip address ranges for your container. These ranges include: - 10.0.0.0/8 - 172.16.0.0/12 - 192.168.0.0/16 Bastille does its best to validate the submitted ip is valid. This has not been thouroughly tested. I generally use the 10/8 range. A couple of notes about the created jails. First, MOTD has been disabled inside of the jails because it does not give information about the jail, but about the host system. This caused confusion for some users, so we implemented the .hushlogin which silences the MOTD at login. Also, uname does not work from within a jail. Much like MOTD, it gives you the version information about the host system instead of the jail. If you need to check the version of freebsd running on the jail use the freebsd-version command to get accurate information. Bastille can create many different types of jails, along with many different options. See the below help output. .. code-block:: shell ishmael ~ # bastille create help Usage: bastille create [option(s)] NAME RELEASE IP [INTERFACE]" Options: -B | --bridge Enable VNET, and attach to a specified, already existing external bridge. -C | --clone Create a clone jail. -D | --dual Create jail with both IPv4 and IPv6 networking ('inherit' and 'ip_hostname' only). -E | --empty Create an empty container, intended for custom jail builds (thin/thick/linux or unsupported). -g | --gateway IP Specify a default router/gateway for the jail. -L | --linux Create a Linux jail (experimental). -M | --static-mac Generate a static MAC address for jail (VNET only). --no-validate Do not validate the release when creating the jail. --no-boot Create jail with boot=off. -p | --priority VALUE Set priority value for jail. -T | --thick Creates a thick container, they consume more space as they are self contained and independent. -V | --vnet Enable VNET, and attach to an existing, physical interface. -v | --vlan VLANID Creates the jail with specified VLAN ID (VNET only). -x | --debug Enable debug mode. -Z | --zfs-opts zfs,options Comma separated list of ZFS options to create the jail with. This overrides the defaults.
