children of ezjail managed jails

[Axel Rau]

Hi all,
is it possible to create children of jails, managed by ezjail, which are also managed by ezjail?

I now try to create a child manually by jail(8), but I cant even set children.max in the parent.

In host:
/usr/local/etc/ezjail/JAILNAME:
export jail_JAILNAME_parameters="children.max=10“

In parent JAILNAME:
sysctl -a | grep children.max
security.jail.param.children.max: 0

What may be wrong here?

Hi Axel,

You mean nested jails?

I’m not sure what your use case is, but it is no longer possible to give ip addresses to those.

Before the that change I used to have ezjails managed inside ezjails. I did not try the VIMAGE approach though

Best regards,
Ruben

Hi all,

Can the basejail of the parent be used for that?
Can I just set children.max and ezjail_jaildir ?
I just need the children to install different versions of some packages.
I did not succeed with pkg install -r because of missing environment for pkg.
All help appreciated,
Axel
