Jail Management

Bastille allows users to have full control over a host of jail management tools. For a full list of commands and what they can do, See /chapters/subcommands.

Creating a Jail

Creating a jail is done with bastille create. There are many options included that allow you to specify jail type, networking option, and much more.

Jails can be renamed, cloned, exported, imported, started, stopped, restarted, and basically anything you can think a jail would need.

Destroying a Jail

Once you no longer have need of a jail, you can use the bastille destroy command to completey remove it from your system. The destroy command will ask if you are sure you want to destroy it, unless you specify the -y|--yes flag.

Auto Mode

Most, is not all Bastille commands require a jail to be in a certain state (running or stopped) before the command can be executed. This is sometimes a bit of a hinderance, so we include an -a|--auto flag. If a jail needs to be running/stopped before a command can continue, Bastille will first start/stop it if the -a|--auto flag is given.
