SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

jailer is a script for creating chrooted environments for Debian packages.

jailer.conf is the configuration file for jailer.conf

Every configuration definition has to start and end with a jail identifier, which should be unique and be in brackets.

<apache>

For example, an Apache chroot identifier should look like this:

</apache>

The identifier use needs to be closed.

The configuration for the chroot instance is defined inside these identifiers. The following lines can be used to describe the configuration:

Root: /var/chroot/apache

This line describes the PATH of the chrooted enviroment.

Conf:

This line describes the PATH or PATH/filename which should be copied over to the chrooted environment. For example Conf: /etc/apache/* , which uses a wild card.

Debs:

This line contains the name of those Debian packages which should be installed into the chrooted environment.

Junk-Debs:

This line contains those deb packages which should not be installed into the chrooted environment.

Junk:

This line contains those files or directories which should not be installed. For example /lib/* means all files and links under /lib should not be installed, while /lib/libconsole.so.0.0.0 means a file which should not to be installed.

Extra:

This line contains those files or directories which should be installed into the chrooted environment. For example: /var/run will install that a directory which is needed for the chrooted service.
