NAME

       cdist-type__jail_freebsd9 - Manage FreeBSD jails

DESCRIPTION

       This type is used on FreeBSD <= 9.x to manage jails.

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

       state  Either "present" or "absent", defaults to "present".

       jailbase
              The location of the .tgz archive containing the base fs for your jails.

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.

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.

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.

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

EXAMPLES

          # Create a jail called www
          __jail_freebsd9 www --state present --ip "192.168.1.2" --jailbase /my/jail/base.tgz

          # Remove the jail called www
          __jail_freebsd9 www --state absent --jailbase /my/jail/base.tgz

          # The jail www should not be started
          __jail_freebsd9 www --state present --stopped \
             --ip "192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" \
             --jailbase /my/jail/base.tgz

          # Use the name variable explicitly
          __jail_freebsd9 thisjail --state present --name www \
             --ip "192.168.1.2" \
             --jailbase /my/jail/base.tgz

          # Go nuts
          __jail_freebsd9 lotsofoptions --state present --name testjail \
             --ip "192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0" \
             --hostname "testjail.example.com" --interface "em0" \
             --onboot --jailbase /my/jail/base.tgz --jaildir /jails
