Bastille¶
Bastille is a jail automation framework that allows you to quickly and easily create and manage FreeBSD jail.
Installation¶
Bastille is not (yet) in the official ports tree, but I have built and verified binary packages.
To install using one of the BETA binary packages, copy the URL for the latest release here (TXZ file): https://github.com/bastillebsd/bastille/releases
Then, install via pkg
.
Example:
pkg add https://github.com/BastilleBSD/bastille/releases/download/0.3.20181120/bastille-0.3.20181120.txz
BETA binary packages are signed. These can be verified with this pubkey:

0.3-beta¶
This document outlines the basic usage of the Bastille jail management framework. This release, obviously, is beta quality. I make no guarantees of quality, and if it screws up your system… Sorry, bro.
With all that said, here’s how to use this tool in its current beta state…
Network Requirements¶
In order to segregate jails from the network and from the world, Bastille attaches jails to a loopback interface only. The host system then acts as the firewall, permitting and denying traffic as needed.
First, create the loopback interface:
ishmael ~ # sysrc cloned_interfaces+=lo1
ishmael ~ # service netif cloneup
Second, enable NAT through the firewall:
ishmael ~ # sysrc pf_enable="YES"
Create the firewall config, or merge as necessary.
/etc/pf.conf¶
ext_if="vtnet0"
set block-policy drop
scrub in on $ext_if all fragment reassemble
set skip on lo
nat on $ext_if from !($ext_if) -> ($ext_if:0)
## rdr example
## rdr pass inet proto tcp from any to any port {80, 443} -> 10.88.9.45
block in log all
pass out quick modulate state
antispoof for $ext_if inet
pass in inet proto tcp from any to any port ssh flags S/SA keep state
- Make sure to change the
ext_if
variable to match your host system interface. - Make sure to include the last line (
port ssh
) or you’ll end up locked out.
Note: if you have an existing firewall, the key lines for in/out traffic to jails are:
nat on $ext_if from lo1:network to any -> ($ext_if)
## rdr example
## rdr pass inet proto tcp from any to any port {80, 443} -> 10.88.9.45
The nat
routes traffic from the loopback interface to the external interface
for outbound access.
The rdr pass ...
will redirect traffic from the host firewall on port X to
the ip of Jail Y. The example shown redirects web traffic (80 & 443) to the
jails at 10.88.9.45
.
We’ll get to that later, but when you’re ready to allow traffic inbound to your jails, that’s where you’d do it.
Finally, start up the firewall:
ishmael ~ # service pf restart
At this point you’ll likely be disconnected from the host. Reconnect the ssh session and continue.
This step only needs to be done once in order to prepare the host.
bastille bootstrap¶
The first step is to “bootstrap” a release. Current supported release is 11.2-RELEASE, but you can bootstrap anything in the ftp.FreeBSD.org RELEASES directory.
Note: your mileage may vary with unsupported releases and releases newer than the host system likely will NOT work at all.
To bootstrap
a release, run the bootstrap sub-command with the
release version as the argument.
ishmael ~ # bastille bootstrap 11.2-RELEASE
ishmael ~ # bastille bootstrap 12.0-RELEASE
This command will ensure the required directory structures are in place and
download the requested release. For each requested release, bootstrap
will
download the base.txz and lib32.txz. These are both verified (sha256 via
MANIFEST file) before they are extracted for use.
Downloaded artifacts are stored in the cache
directory. “bootstrapped”
releases are stored in releases/version
.
The bootstrap subcommand is generally only used once to prepare the system. The only other use case for the bootstrap command is when a new FreeBSD version is released and you want to start building jails on that version.
To update a release as patches are made available, see the bastille update
command.
bastille create¶
Bastille create uses any available bootstrapped release to create a lightweight jailized system. To create a jail simply provide a name, release and a private (rfc1918) IP address.
- name
- release (bootstrapped)
- ip
ishmael ~ # bastille create folsom 11.2-RELEASE 10.8.62.1
RELEASE: 11.2-RELEASE.
NAME: folsom.
IP: 10.8.62.1.
This command will create a 11.2-RELEASE jail assigning the 10.8.62.1 ip address to the new system.
I recommend using private (rfc1918) ip address ranges for your jails. These ranges include:
- 10.0.0.0/8
- 172.16.0.0/12
- 192.168.0.0/16
Bastille does its best to validate the submitted ip is valid. This has not been thouroughly tested–I generally use the 10/8 range.
bastille start¶
To start a jail you can use the bastille start
command.
ishmael ~ # bastille start folsom
Targeting specified jails.
folsom
[folsom]:
folsom: created
bastille stop¶
To stop a jail you can use the bastille stop
command.
ishmael ~ # bastille stop folsom
Targeting specified jails.
folsom
[folsom]:
folsom: removed
bastille restart¶
To restart a jail you can use the bastille restart
command.
ishmael ~ # bastille restart folsom
Targeting specified jails.
folsom
[folsom]:
folsom: removed
Targeting specified jails.
folsom
[folsom]:
folsom: created
bastille cmd¶
To execute commands within the jail you can use bastille cmd
.
ishmael ~ # bastille cmd folsom 'ps -auxw'
Targeting specified jails.
folsom

ishmael ~ # bastille destroy folsom

Note: jail console logs not destroyed.
/usr/local/bastille/logs/folsom_console.log
bastille template¶
Bastille supports a templating system allowing you to apply files, pkgs and execute commands inside the jail automatically.
Currently supported template hooks are: PRE
, CONFIG
, PKG
, SYSRC
, CMD
.
Planned template hooks include: FSTAB
, PF
Templates are created in ${bastille_prefix}/templates
and can leverage any of
the template hooks. Simply create a new directory named after the template. eg;
mkdir -p /usr/local/bastille/templates/base
To leverage a template hook, create an UPPERCASE file in the root of the template directory named after the hook you want to execute. eg;
echo "zsh vim-console git-lite htop" > /usr/local/bastille/templates/base/PKG
echo "/usr/bin/chsh -s /usr/local/bin/zsh" > /usr/local/bastille/templates/base/CMD
echo "etc root usr" > /usr/local/bastille/templates/base/CONFIG
Template hooks are executed in specific order and require specific syntax to work as expected. This table outlines those requirements:
| HOOK | format | example | |———|——————|————————————–| | PRE/CMD | /bin/sh command | /usr/bin/chsh -s /usr/local/bin/zsh | | CONFIG | path | etc root usr | | PKG | port/pkg name(s) | vim-console zsh git-lite tree htop | | SYSRC | sysrc command(s) | nginx_enable=YES |
Note: SYSRC requires NO quotes or that quotes ("
) be escaped. ie; \"
)
In addition to supporting template hooks, Bastille supports overlaying files into the jail. This is done by placing the files in their full path, using the template directory as “/”.
An example here may help. Think of /usr/local/bastille/templates/base
, our
example template, as the root of our filesystem overlay. If you create an
etc/hosts
or etc/resolv.conf
inside the base template directory, these
can be overlayed into your jail.
Note: due to the way FreeBSD segregates user-space, the majority of your
overlayed template files will be in usr/local
. The few general
exceptions are the etc/hosts
, etc/resolv.conf
, and etc/rc.conf.local
.
After populating usr/local/
with custom config files that your jail will
use, be sure to include usr
in the template CONFIG definition. eg;
echo "etc usr" > /usr/local/bastille/templates/base/CONFIG
The above example “etc usr” will include anything under “etc” and “usr” inside the template. You do not need to list individual files. Just include the top-level directory name.
Applying Templates¶
Jails must be running to apply templates.
Bastille includes a template
sub-command. This sub-command requires a target
and a template name. As covered in the previous section, template names
correspond to directory names in the bastille/templates
directory.
ishmael ~ # bastille template folsom base
[folsom]:
Copying files...
Copy complete.
Installing packages.
...[snip]...
Executing final command(s).
chsh: user information updated
Template Complete.
bastille top¶
This one simply runs top
in that jail. This command is interactive, as top
is interactive.
bastille htop¶
This one simply runs htop
inside the jail. This one is a quick and dirty
addition. note: won’t work if you don’t have htop installed in the jail.
bastille sysrc¶
The sysrc
sub-command allows for safely editing system configuration files.
In jail terms, this allows us to toggle on/off services and options at
startup.
ishmael ~ # bastille sysrc nginx nginx_enable="YES"
Targeting specified jails.
nginx
[nginx]:
nginx_enable: NO -> YES
See man sysrc(8)
for more info.
bastille console¶
This sub-command launches a login shell into the jail. Default is password-less root login.
ishmael ~ # bastille console folsom

bastille update¶
The update
command targets a release instead of a jail. Because every
jail is based on a release, when the release is updated all the jails are
automatically updated as well.
To update all jails based on the 11.2-RELEASE release
:
Up to date 11.2-RELEASE:

To be safe, you may want to restart any jails that have been updated live.
bastille upgrade¶
This sub-command lets you upgrade a release to a new release. Depending on the
workflow this can be similar to a bootstrap
.
ishmael ~ # bastille upgrade 11.2-RELEASE 12.0-RELEASE
...
bastille verify¶
This sub-command scans a bootstrapped release and validates that everything looks in order. This is not a 100% comprehensive check, but it compares the release against a “known good” index.
If you see errors or issues here, consider deleting and re-bootstrapping the release.
Example (create, start, console)¶
This example creates, starts and consoles into the jail.

Project Goals¶
These tools are created initially with the mindset of function over form. I want to simply prove the concept is sound for real work. The real work is a sort of meta-jail-port system. Instead of installing the MySQL port directly on a system, you would use Bastille to install the MySQL port within a jail template built for MySQL. The same goes for DNS servers, and everything else in the ports tree.
Eventually I would like to have Bastille templates created for popular FreeBSD-based services. From Plex Media Servers to ad-blocking DNS resolvers. From tiny SSH jails to dynamic web servers.
I don’t want to tell you what you can and can’t run within this framework. There are no arbitrary limitations based on what I think may or may not be the best way to design systems. This is not my goal.
My goal is to provide a secure framework where processes and services can run isolated. I want to limit the scope and reach of bad actors. I want to severely limit the target areas available to anyone that has (or has gained!) access.

Networking Tips¶
Tip #1:¶
Ports and destinations can be defined as lists. eg;
rdr pass inet proto tcp from any to any port {80, 443} -> {10.88.9.45, 10.88.9.46, 10.88.9.47, 10.88.9.48}
This rule would redirect any traffic to the host on ports 80 or 443 and round-robin between jails with ips 45, 46, 47, and 48 (on ports 80 or 443).
Tip #2:¶
Ports can redirect to other ports. eg;
rdr pass inet proto tcp from any to any port 8080 -> 10.7.6.5 port 80
rdr pass inet proto tcp from any to any port 8081 -> 10.7.6.5 port 8080
rdr pass inet proto tcp from any to any port 8181 -> 10.7.6.5 port 443
Tip #3:¶
Don’t worry too much about IP assignments. Initially I spent time worrying about what IP addresses to assign. In the end I’ve come to the conclusion that it really doesn’t matter. Pick any private address and be done with it. These are all isolated networks. In the end, what matters is you can map host:port to jail:port reliably, and we can.
