jail 0.0.14

Native FreeBSD jail bindings with libc.

py-jail

A native Python wrapper for FreeBSD jails using libc.

Usage

jail_set

>>> import jail
>>> jiov = jail.Jiov(dict(persist=None, jid=23, path="/rescue"))
>>> jail.dll.jail_set(jiov.pointer, len(jiov), 1)
23

jail_remove

>>> import jail
>>> jiov = jail.Jiov(dict(persist=None, jid=23, path="/rescue"))
>>> jail.dll.jail_remove(23)
-1
>>> jail.dll.jail_set(jiov.pointer, len(jiov), 1)
23
>>> jail.dll.jail_set(jiov.pointer, len(jiov), 1)
-1
>>> jiov.errmsg.value
b'jail 23 already exists'
>>> jail.dll.jail_remove(23)
0
>>> jail.dll.jail_set(jiov.pointer, len(jiov), 1)
23

Parameters

Networking

Non-VNET jails accept ip.addr and ip6.addr params. Those can be defined from Python ipaddress.IPv4Address and ipaddress.IPv6Address.

ifconfig bridge create inet 192.168.1.42/24 inet6 add 2001:db8:10C::42/64

import ipaddress
import jail

jiov = jail.Jiov({
	"persist": None,
	"jid": 23,
	"path": "/rescue",
	"ip4.addr": ipaddress.IPv4Address("192.168.1.42")
	"ip6.addr": ipaddress.IPv6Address("2001:db8:10C::42")
})

jail.dll.jail_set(jiov.pointer, len(jiov), 1)

Development

Unit Tests

Unit tests may run on FreeBSD or HardenedBSD.

Static Code Analysis

The project enforces PEP-8 code style and MyPy strong typing via flake8, that is required to pass before merging any changes. Together with Bandit checks for common security issues the static code analysis can be ran on Linux and BSD code execution.

make install-dev
make check

Releases

We try to manually keep a Changelog, following the style on changelog.md. New releases are tagged according to Semver, released on PyPi, and published as port.

To get a port published, we need to create a Bugzilla Issue in the Ports category
