v2.1.1

Final release by @Jip-Hop. Thanks everyone!

As announced this repo is no longer maintained by the original author: Jip-Hop. The final release is v2.1.1 which has been tested to be compatible with TrueNAS SCALE 24.10.0. Perhaps development continues in one of the forks. But since iX has decided to integrate Incus in the SCALE 25.04 Fangtooth it's probably best to start using that once it's available instead of relying on jailmaker and systemd-nspawn.

Full Changelog: v2.0.0...v2.0.1

v2.0.0

The latest version of jailmaker is now officially licensed as open source under the LGPL-3.0 license! This makes it possible for iXsystems to reuse jailmaker code for a future release of TrueNAS SCALE. This version includes breaking changes, so please read these notes carefully. You can, as usual, replace jlmkr.py to upgrade to the latest version.

Removed config options

The deprecated gpu_passthrough and docker_compatible config values have been removed. Please check your config files and remove these options if you're still using them. Instead of gpu_passthrough use the dedicated gpu_passthrough_intel and gpu_passthrough_nvidia options. Instead of docker_compatible refer to the documentation on how to make a docker-compatible jail.

Removed install command

The jlmkr install command has been removed. This doesn't change much for existing users. The shell alias which jailmaker created automatically in /root/.zshrc and /root/.bashrc will continue to work. However I suggest you remove the # managed by jailmaker comment from these files, as jailmaker will no longer manage this alias and won't modify your shell aliases from now on. The documentation explains how to manually setup a new alias if desired.

What's Changed

• v2.0.0 by @Jip-Hop in #187
• Removed deprecated config options
• Removed the jlmkr install command
• Added license and copyright info

Full Changelog: v1.4.0...v1.4.1

v1.4.0

This release brings improved behavior of the initial_setup script when creating new jails from config templates. This release does not introduce any changes in how existing jails are treated. In general there should be no breaking changes. But if you have your own, custom, config templates you may want to read carefully if this release impacts your initial_setup script. You can simply replace jlmkr.py to upgrade to the latest version.

What's Changed

• The initial_setup script will now run once the jail has been startup for the first time and will wait for the init system and networking to be ready. It used to run BEFORE the first start using the host networking namespace and without applying the systemd_nspawn_user_args. This had several downsides, such as the inability to install some packages, not being able to access bind mounts from the initial_setup script and inconsistent networking modes. The new behavior fixes this.
• Config templates now default to bridge networking, please see the updated docs on how to set up bridge networking.
• The docker config template will now also install the NVIDIA Container Toolkit if gpu_passthrough_nvidia=1 when the jail starts for the first time.
• Updated experimental lxd and incus templates to take advantage of the improved initial_setup behavior.
• Fixes in the podman rootless install instructions as well as the config template.
