16.79. cdist-type__jail_freebsd9(7)¶
16.79.1. NAME¶
cdist-type__jail_freebsd9 - Manage FreeBSD jails
16.79.2. DESCRIPTION¶
This type is used on FreeBSD <= 9.x to manage jails.
16.79.3. REQUIRED PARAMETERS¶
- state
- Either "present" or "absent", defaults to "present".
- jailbase
- The location of the .tgz archive containing the base fs for your jails.
16.79.4. OPTIONAL PARAMETERS¶
- name
- The name of the jail. Default is to use the object_id as the jail name.
- ip
- The ifconfig style IP/netmask combination to use for the jail guest. If the state parameter is "present," this parameter is required.
- hostname
- The FQDN to use for the jail guest. Defaults to the name parameter.
- interface
- The name of the physical interface on the jail server to bind the jail to. Defaults to the first interface found in the output of ifconfig -l.
- devfs-ruleset
- The name of the devfs ruleset to associate with the jail. Defaults to "jailrules." This ruleset must be copied to the server via another type. To use this option, devfs-enable must be "true."
- jaildir
- The location on the remote server to use for hosting jail filesystems. Defaults to /usr/jail.
16.79.5. BOOLEAN PARAMETERS¶
- stopped
- Do not start the jail
- devfs-disable
- Whether to disallow devfs mounting within the jail
- onboot
- Whether to add the jail to rc.conf's jail_list variable.
16.79.6. CAVEATS¶
This type does not currently support modification of jail options. If, for example a jail needs to have its IP address or netmask changed, the jail must be removed then re-added with the correct IP address/netmask or the appropriate line (jail_<name>_ip="...") modified within rc.conf through some alternate means.
16.79.7. MESSAGES¶
- start
- The jail was started
- stop
- The jail was stopped
- create:
- The jail was created
- delete
- The jail was deleted
- onboot
- The jail was configured to start on boot
