Linux Jails

Bastille can create Linux jails using the debootstrap tool. When attempting to create a Linux jail, Bastille will need to load some modules as well as install the debootstrap package.

Getting Started

To get started, run bastille setup linux to load required modules and install the debootstrap package.

Bootstrapping a Linux Release

To bootstrap a Linux release, run bastille bootstrap bionic or whichever release you want to bootstrap. Once bootstrapped, we can use the --linux|-L option to create a Linux jail.

Creating a Linux Jail

To create a Linux jail, run bastille create -L mylinuxjail bionic 10.1.1.3. This will create and initialize your jail using the debootstrap tool.

Once the jail is created, proceed to do your “linux stuff”.

Limitations

• Linux jails are still considered experimental.

• Linux jails cannot be created with any type of VNET options.
