Debian in Jail FreeNAS 9.3

[madtulip]

Hey. Id like to run some steam based game servers in a jail.

FreeBSD is not supported so i thought i try to setup debian in a jail. I did read that since 9.3. that option was removed from FreeNASs jail template options. So what are the current options? I dont need extreme performance for a game server for max 10 people. I could create the normal freeBSD jail, install some VM software in the jail and install debian in the VM software? Is there still a direct way as FreeBSD in principle supports 32 bit linus? should i refer to the freeBSD forums instead?

i believe that steam and game servers are next to media centers quite an area of interest for the private/home server application and thus wonder why support for debian jails was stopped with 9.3..

thanks for any inputs.

Use the Virtualbox template and install Debian into it. Refer to http://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_jails.html for details.
