AppJail

AppJail is an open-source BSD-3 licensed framework entirely written in <code>POSIX shell</code> and C to create isolated, portable and easy to deploy environments using FreeBSD jails that behaves like an application.Its goals are to simplify life for sysadmins and developers by providing a unified interface that automates the jail workflow by combining the base FreeBSD tools.Features:<ul><li>Easy to use.</li><li>Parallel startup (Healthcheckers, Jails &amp; NAT).</li><li>UFS and ZFS support.</li><li>RACCT/RCTL support.</li><li>NAT support.</li><li>Port expose - network port forwarding into jail.</li><li>IPv4 and IPv6 support.</li><li>DHCP and SLAAC support.</li><li>Virtual networks - A jail can be on several virtual networks at the same time.</li><li>Bridge support.</li><li>VNET support</li><li>Deploy your applications much easier using Makejail!</li><li>Netgraph support.</li><li>LinuxJails support.</li><li>Supports thin and thick jails.</li><li>TinyJails - Experimental feature to create a very stripped down jail that is very useful to distribute.</li><li>Startup order control - Using priorities and the boot flag makes management much easier.</li><li>Jail dependency support.</li><li>Initscripts - Make your jails interactive!</li><li>Backup your jails using tarballs or raw images (ZFS only) with a single command.</li><li>Modular structure - each command is a unique file that has its own responsability in AppJail. This makes AppJail maintenance much easier.</li><li>Table interface - many commands have a table-like interface, which is very familiar to many sysadmin tools.</li><li>No databases - each configuration is separated in each entity (networks, jails, etc.) which makes maintenance much easier.</li><li>Healthcheckers - Monitor your jails and make sure they are healthy!</li><li>Images - Your jail in a single file!</li><li>DEVFS support - Dynamic device management!</li><li>OCI support - Containers everywhere!</li><li>...</li></ul>This project has some meta-projects that increase the level of automation.<a href="https://github.com/AppJail-makejails" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Makejails</a>: Simple text files to automate the creation and maintenance of jailsImagine a world where you can deploy Nextcloud, OnlyOffice, MariaDB, redis, PostgreSQL or any other application in minutes with a unified interface. Makejails provides this and much more. Instead of spending hours of your valuable time learning how to configure WordPress with MariaDB, you can use Makejails to deploy in minutes. Instead of spending hours organizing how you are going to deploy your services on which servers and figuring out how those services connect, just run a few commands and your services are up and running.<a href="https://github.com/DtxdF/director" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Director</a>: Define and run multi-jail environments with AppJailIf you want to deploy a stack of applications, you can do it with a few commands using AppJail, but it is much easier to write a YAML file, run a single command, and get a bunch of services running, or in other words, AppJail Director: tool for running multi-jail environments on AppJail using a simple YAML specification. A Director file is used to define how one or more jails that make up your application are configured. Once you have a Director file, you can create and start your application with a single command: <code>appjail-director up</code>.<a href="https://github.com/DtxdF/reproduce" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Reproduce</a>: Create images in a few stepsOne of the many features AppJail offers is the ability to create a snapshot of your jail to distribute anywhere. AppJail offers and plenty of images. To automate this process even further, Reproduce is born.AppJail Reproduce is a small open source BSD-3 licensed tool for automating the creation of images using Makejails, scripts and simple text files, providing a common workflow and simplifying many things.<a href="https://github.com/DtxdF/LittleJet" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">LittleJet</a>: Create, deploy, manage and scale FreeBSD jails anywhereLittleJet is an open source, easy-to-use orchestrator for managing, deploying, scaling and interconnecting FreeBSD jails anywhere in the world.<a href="https://github.com/DtxdF/overlord" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Overlord</a>: Deploy FreeBSD jails as fast as you codeOverlord is a fast, distributed orchestrator for FreeBSD jails oriented to GitOps.
