Qjail [ q = quick ] is a 4th generation wrapper for the basic chroot jail
|
|
|
|
system that includes security and performance enhancements. Plus a new level
|
|
|
|
of "user friendliness" enhancements dealing with deploying just a few jails or

|
|
|
large scale jail environments consisting of 100's of jails.

This version of qjail uses the jail(8) jail.conf method. This provides the
|
|
|
|
ability to enable the following options on a per-jail basis. exec.fib,
|
|
|
|
securelevel, allow.sysvipc, devfs_rulesets, allow.raw_sockets, allow.quotas,
|
|
|
|
allow.mount.nullfs, allow.mount.tmpfs, allow.mount.zfs, vnet.interface, and
|
|
|
|
vnet. The vnet option gives a jail its own network stack using the experimental
|
|
|
|
vimage kernel module. This qjail version is not intended for RELEASES older than
|
|
|
|
RELEASE-9.2. The vnet option has only been tested on i386 and amd64 equipment.

Qjail requires no knowledge of the jail command usage. It uses "nullfs" for
|
2013-06-03 00:13:33 +02:00
|
|
|
read-only system executables, sharing one copy of them with all the jails.

|
|
Uses "mdconfig" to create sparse image jails. Sparse image jails provide a
|
|
|
|
method to limit the total disk space a jail can consume, while only occupying
|
|
|
|
the physical disk space of the sum size of the files in the image jail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ability to assign ip address with their network device name,
|
|
|
|
so aliases are auto created on jail start and auto removed on jail stop.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ability to create "ZONE"s of identical qjail systems, each with their own
|
|
|
|
group of jails.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ability to designate a portion of the jail name as a group prefix so the
|
|
|
|
command being executed will apply to only those jail names matching that prefix.
