FreeBSD Jail With iocage
========================
This tutorial shows how zrepl can be installed on FreeBSD, or FreeNAS in a jail using iocage.
While this tutorial focuses on using iocage, much of the setup would be similar
using a different jail manager.
.. NOTE::
From a security perspective, just keep in mind that ``zfs send``/``recv`` was never designed with
jails in mind, an attacker could probably crash the receive-side kernel or worse induce stateful
damage to the receive-side pool if they were able to get access to the jail.
The jail doesn't provide security benefits, but only management ones.
Requirements
------------
A dataset that will be delegated to the jail needs to be created if one does not already exist.
For the tutorial ``tank/zrepl`` will be used.
.. code-block:: bash
zfs create -o mountpoint=none tank/zrepl
The only software requirements on the host system are ``iocage``, which can be installed
from ports or packages.
.. code-block:: bash
pkg install py37-iocage
.. NOTE::
By default ``iocage`` will "activate" on first use which will set up some defaults such as
which pool will be used. To activate ``iocage`` manually the ``iocage activate`` command can be used.
Jail Creation
-------------
There are two options for jail creation using FreeBSD.
1. Manually set up the jail from scratch
2. Create the jail using the ``zrepl`` plugin. On FreeNAS this is possible from the user interface using the community index.
Manual Jail
###########
Create a jail, using the same release as the host, called ``zrepl`` that will be automatically started at boot.
The jail will have ``tank/zrepl`` delegated into it.
.. code-block:: bash
iocage create --release "$(freebsd-version -k | cut -d '-' -f '1,2')" --name zrepl \
boot=on nat=1 \
jail_zfs=on \
jail_zfs_dataset=zrepl \
jail_zfs_mountpoint='none'
Enter the jail:
.. code-block:: bash
iocage console zrepl
Install ``zrepl``
.. code-block:: bash
pkg update && pkg upgrade
pkg install zrepl
Create the log file ``/var/log/zrepl.log``
.. code-block:: bash
touch /var/log/zrepl.log && service newsyslog restart
Tell syslogd to redirect facility local0 to the ``zrepl.log`` file:
.. code-block:: bash
service syslogd reload
Enable the zrepl daemon to start automatically at boot:
.. code-block:: bash
sysrc zrepl_enable="YES"
Now jump to :ref:`the summary <installation-freebsd-jail-summary>` below.
Plugin
######
When using the plugin, ``zrepl`` will be installed for you in a jail using the following ``iocage`` properties.
* ``nat=1``
* ``jail_zfs=on``
* ``jail_zfs_mountpoint=none``
Additionally the delegated dataset should be specified upon creation, and optionally start on boot can be set.
This can also be done from the FreeNAS webui.
.. code-block:: bash
fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ix-plugin-hub/iocage-plugin-index/master/zrepl.json -o /tmp/zrepl.json
iocage fetch -P /tmp/zrepl.json --name zrepl jail_zfs_dataset=zrepl boot=on
Configuration
-------------
Now ``zrepl`` can be configured.
Enter the jail.
.. code-block:: bash
iocage console zrepl
Modify the ``/usr/local/etc/zrepl/zrepl.yml`` configuration file.
.. TIP::
Note: check out the :ref:`quick-start guides <quickstart-toc>` for examples of a ``sink`` job.
Now ``zrepl`` can be started.
.. code-block:: bash
service zrepl start
Now jump to :ref:`the summary <installation-freebsd-jail-summary>` below.

Summary
-------
Congratulations, you have a working jail!
.. NOTE::
With FreeBSD 13's transition to OpenZFS 2.0, please ensure that your jail's FreeBSD version matches the one in the kernel module.
If you are getting cryptic errors such as
``cannot receive new filesystem stream: invalid backup stream``
the instructions posted `here <https://github.com/zrepl/zrepl/issues/500#issuecomment-966215205>`_ might help.
