I've got a server setup with ~30 jail environments, and growing, that are
used as "dedicated cyrus imap servers" ... works like a charm ... but, I
want to be able to upgrade the world inside of the jail to reflect the
machine itself, as I upgrade it ...
What is the simpliest way to do this?
Looking at the jail man page, to setup the jail requires:
D=/here/is/the/jail
cd /usr/src
make hierarchy DESTDIR=$D
make obj
make depend
make all
make install DESTDIR=$D
cd etc
make distribution DESTDIR=$D NO_MAKEDEV=yes
cd $D/dev
sh MAKEDEV jail
cd $D
ln -sf dev/null kernel
now, I'm figuring that I should be safe with doing:
D=/here/is/the/jail
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make installworld (install to base machine)
make installworld DESTDIR=$D (upgrade jail itself)
mergemaster (update config files for base machine)
mergemaster -D $D (update config files for jail env)
and that's it ...
Can anyone suggest anything wrong with that? Something I'm
mis-understanding or overlooking?
Thanks ...
