Hypha😈 Jailrun is moving fast!
Our open-source project for orchestrating FreeBSD jails has just received a major update.
The latest version brings the kind of modern CLI experience you’d expect in 2026 — interactive shell, command autocomplete, and a polished look and feel.
Check it out 👉 https://github.com/hyphatech/jailrun
Thanks to the @FreeBSDFoundation for supporting the continued development of FreeBSD, and to the maintainers of #bastilleBSD, #ansible, #qemu, and #monit for the wonderful tools.

SYNOPSIS
bastille clone [-alx] TARGET NEW_NAME IP
The bastille clone sub-command will create an exact duplicate of the targeted jail, giving it the specified NEW_NAME and IP address.
EXAMPLES
Clone myjail to newjail:
# bastille clone myjail newjail 10.23.3.4/24
Clone myjail to newjail with DHCP (VNET only):
# bastille clone myjail newjail DHCP
Clone myjail to newjail while running, with debug mode:
# bastille clone -xl myjail newjail 10.23.3.4/24

Stefano MarinelliCurrent task - cloning a prod server to a dev one:
zfs send -vRc zroot/bastille@toSend00 | mbuffer -m 2G | ssh root@VPNIP "zfs receive zroot/bastille"
Done.
The bastille convert sub-command will convert a thin jail to a thick jail if only the TARGET argument is given.
If a TARGET and RELEASE is specified, it will convert the jail into a custom release. The jail will remain intact, and you will have a duplicate of it to use a a release base for any new jails.
EXAMPLES
Convert myjail from thin to thick:
# bastille convert myjail
Create myrelease from myjail:
# bastille convert myjail myrelease
curtosisUgh. I rebooted my FreeBSD server server (runs some #bastilleBSD jails and a bhyve linux vm) and now the bhyve vm isn’t on the network. Somehow I had something working but not matching what was in rc.conf and no clue what it was. :(
