iocage

Install iocage and install FreeBSD jails with it.

note

See the full Salt Formulas installation and usage instructions.

Usage

Manage freebsd jails:

• fetch a release
• create a jail
• start / stop / restart / destroy a jail
• list jails / release / templates
• list / get / set jail properties

The main keys are name, properties, jail_type and template_id.

iocage_test_jail:
    iocage.managed:
        - name: test_jail
        - properties:
            ip4_addr:lo1|10.1.1.20/32
        # optional default is full
        - jail_type: full
        # required only if jail_type is template-clone
        - template_id: ""

• name : the name property is the tag that is used to create the jail. This is a required field.
• properties : a list of key value pairs. All properties listed in iocage defaults can be set here. Also the pkglist property can be set here.
• jail_type : the type of jail to create.. Can be one of full , clone (-c), base (-b), template-clone, empty (-e). To create a template jail, just set 'template=yes' in properties. Default is full
• template_id : if the jail jail_type is template clone, then the template to be cloned is defined here. This is required if the jail_type is set to template_clone

Examples

Full Jail

Create a full jail with default properties:

iocage_test_jail:
    iocage.managed:
        - name: test_jail

Create a full jail with some properties set:

iocage_test_jail:
    iocage.managed:
        - name: test_jail
        - properties:
            ip4_addr: lo1|10.1.1.20/32

Cloned Jail

Create a cloned jail:

iocage_test_jail:
    iocage.managed:
        - name: test_jail
        - jail_type: clone
        - properties:
            ip4_addr: lo1|10.1.1.20/32

Template Jail

Create a template jail:

iocage_test_jail:
    iocage.managed:
        - name: test_jail
        - properties:
            ip4_addr: lo1|10.1.1.20/32
        # note the quotes for yes. Without it yaml parses it as true
        - template: "yes"

Clone a template. This will clone the template with tag test_template

iocage_test_jail:
    iocage.managed:
        - name: test_jail
        - jail_type: template-clone
        - template_id: test_template
        - properties:
            ip4_addr: lo1|10.1.1.20/32
