Nice video shot on FreeBSD's jails. Would like to see more content on that, especially building up a website with this www jail you created in the vid.
Hi Gary, you mention ezjaile. But time caught up with us, it is not maintained anymore and stopped working properly (at least, the ezjail-admin) in FreeBSD 14. (already had issues in 13.1) I now have to move over to an alternative, which gives more trouble than I wished for.
Yeah, completely valid question! Is jails like a VM guest inside the host? Would the guest need to influence the CPU speed, or it should be governed only on the top (host) level?
@@GaryHTech Thanks for your channel. I had a few of your videos on in the background while doing some chores. A lot of the content went over my head but it was a great insight into your world. I will have to come back to your videos later. DJ Ware was introducing the concept of jails on his channel and it certainly seemed worthy of further investigation so it's really nice to come across this kind of practical introduction and demonstration. Certainly the world of BSD sounds very unusual, special and interesting.
Wonder where I am messing up here... created a jail called testjail and tried to start it via "service jail start testjail" and am getting a message "jail: "testjail" not found." I for some reason when the jail was installed it did not automatically create an /etc/jail.conf textfile so i created one myself and populated it according to what yours showed. Let me know if you have any guesses to what i did wrong. I'm running 13.2
Thank you for this. I have been a linux user and have always wanted to work on FreeBSD. Your videos have helped a lot.
Simple and clean for beginners👍💪
Thanks for the vid, looking forward to watching the next one about Jails !
Always a pleasure to see you videos👍. I’m also looking forward to seeing your videos on Jails.
LMAO the tiny conversation with the dog... :)
Looks great Gary, many thanks for something else to fiddle with....

Who doesn't like a doggo in the video? Especially if he's giving you funny looks!
Nice explanation. Jails not nearly as scary as I thought, at least on the surface, cheers!
You are awesome. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching, thank you for the kind words :)
Thanks for making this tutorial
Thank you for watching :)

nice one Thanks GeryH
Your welcome, thanks for watching :)
That's a cute doggy, he wants to play
I really do miss him, was such a good boy 😞
Afaik "bsdinstall" with the "jail" keyword installes FreeBSD with everything except the kernel?
Thanks for the info. Is it possible to run xorg and GUI applications from inside a jail?
Or even a PLEX server...
Plex will run in a jail no problem :)
I'm not sure, never tried, I may give it a go at some point :)
All of the above. Anything you can run on FreeBSD you can run in a jail.
Gary,
There's a way to install a jail running a particular release.
I've forgotten how to give that command.
Do you know it?
so a jail is a virtual terminal host? is it any good for?
Does it make sense to run the powerd service inside of the jail if it's already set up on the host?

Hi, would it be possible to install Linux on this jail please. Thanks Michael
Nice.
Thanks and thanks for watching :)

Your most welcome Craig, it's my belief that computing should be accessible to all, if I can help in some small way I will, thanks for watching :)
@@GaryHTech Thanks. I will continue to follow.

Glad you sorted it 😃
