I'm hoping to learn the differences between a plugin jail and a standard jail. I'm wondering if I start with a plugin, and decide I want to install some additional services in the same jail, can I convert the plugin jail to a standard jail?
I note that a plugin jail has a .plugins/ directory at its root, and that the jailtypes differ in the jail's *.meta directory in the jail root. Are these the only things that differentiate a plugin jail from a regular jail? Could I delete the plugin's .plugins directory and change the jailtype file, would my ex-plugin now be seen as a standard jail?
Or, should I just add extra services to the plugin, and leave it as a plugin jail? Of course I'd have to ignore any requests to update the plugin.
