====== A Roadmap For Jails ======

==== Chair Person: AllanJude ====

===== Abstract: =====
The Jail working group will discuss and construct a roadmap for improving the infrastructure and usability of jails. Topics will include the base rc.d/jail jail.conf system, external jail frameworks like ezjail, bsdploy, and iocage, other container systems (docker, jetpack), resolving configuration complexity, and documentation.

  * Opening: Shortcomings of the current Jail system
    * jail.conf cannot be easily modified programmatically
    * jail.conf is a unique config format (not ucl)
    * pkg -j is not really thought through
  * Configuration
    * converting to /etc/jail.conf.d/jailname and a flatter config file
    * using libucl for jail config files
  * Installing
    * Create a 'base' snapshot during bsdinstall distextract, to be cloned to create jails instantly
    * Creating jails with pkg base
  * Upgrading
    * freebsd-update for jails
    * etcupdate interaction with jails
    * pkg upgrade base and jails
  * Base system conventions
    * make.conf's WRKDIR should default to /var/ports, so that the ports tree can be shared between host and jails
  * Roadmap
    * Where to go from here
  * Documentation
    * Ensure the handbook covers how to handle upgrades etc
    * Decide which documentation belongs in the handbook, and which is too specific to 3rd party tools
