Jail types: Template / Full / with Ports ..

Post by tdiaz »

Couple things:

If I setup a Full Jail with Ports (e.g. '/mnt/extensions/brig/FullJail' ) .. and then change the name in rudimentary config/template jail to that name, would that be the basis for any slim jail afterwards?

... say I want to install Transmission with OpenVPN in it's own Jail rather than using the included process, so that I can run only Transmission through the VPN, and leave the NF4 install to use the installed connection as it was.

...and then if I wanted something else in another Jail, that I have to build from source..

If I use the configured FullJail as the template, that should make it so I don't have to put ports in each jail again?

... or what about "make package" from within ports, and then installing that pkg in subsequent jails, or within a N4F Full Install?

It's my understanding that I should only have to setup one jail with Ports and whatever else I want, and any subsequent slim jails would have all the same stuff installed as I have in that template, instead of having to keep redundant copies of stuff across multiple jails?
