Managing Jails

As of TrueNAS CORE 13.3, this feature is untested and provided without support to the TrueNAS Community.

Users with a critical need to use containers or virtualization solutions in production should migrate to the tested and supported virtualization features available in TrueNAS SCALE. TrueNAS Enterprise customers can contact iXsystems to schedule a TrueNAS SCALE deployment. See CORE to SCALE Migrations for more information.

The Jails screen displays a list of jails installed on your system.

Jail status messages and command output are stored in /var/log/iocage.log.

Operations can be applied to multiple jails by selecting those jails with the checkboxes on the left. After selecting one or more jails, icons display which can be used on the selected jails:

play_arrow starts jails

stop stops jails

update updates jails

delete deletes jails

To see more information such as IPV4, IPV6, jail TYPE, and whether it is a TEMPLATE or BASEJAIL click > to expand a jail. Additional options for that jail also display.

For more information on jail options, see Jails.

To modify the IP address information for a jail, click the chevron_right for the jail and then EDIT instead of issuing the networking commands directly from the command line of the jail. This ensures changes are saved and survive a jail or TrueNAS reboot.
