Re: About FreeBSD jails administration tools

Hi,

At one time or another we have used a variety of the ports based jail management tools, including trying to manage jails via webmin.

At the end of the day, we have simply found it easiest (on FBSD5.4 anyway) to just use the regular startup script stuff and manage the jails manually.

Right now the ports toolset for jail management is really chaotic and do not play nice with each other.

This is not a knock on the developers by any means, even having any jail tools in the ports system is a good thing, but all the work just needs to be consolidate into one or two packages.

My 2-cents anyway.

Hello,

I'd like to know your suggestions, from who is already using or
already tried some of the tools listed below to deploy and manage
FreeBSD jails:

Port: jailaudit-1.1
Port: ezjail-1.1
Port: jailadmin-1.8_2
Port: jailctl-0.61
Port: jailer-1.1.2
Port: jailuser-1.9_1
Port: jailutils-1.0
Port: jkill-1.0
Port: jps-1.0
Port: jtop-1.0

I've already got a positive recommendation about ezjail,
which I've been testing and seems very useful.


Best regards,

Alex
