Bastille
========
[Bastille](https://bastillebsd.org/) is an open-source system for automating
deployment and management of containerized applications on FreeBSD.

[Bastille Documentation](https://bastille.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

Installation
============
Bastille is available for installation from the official FreeBSD ports tree.

**pkg**
```shell
pkg install bastille
```

**ports**
```shell
portsnap fetch auto
make -C /usr/ports/sysutils/bastille install clean
```

**Git** (bleeding edge / unstable -- primarily for developers)
```shell
git clone https://github.com/bastillebsd/bastille.git
cd bastille
make install
```

**enable at boot**
```shell
sysrc bastille_enable=YES
sysrc bastille_rcorder=YES
```

Upgrading from a previous version
---------------------------------
When upgrading from a previous version of bastille (e.g. 0.10.20230714 to
0.10.20231013) you will need to update your bastille.conf

```shell
cd /usr/local/etc/bastille
diff -u bastille.conf bastille.conf.sample
```

Merge the lines that are present in the new bastille.conf.sample into
your bastille.conf

Basic Usage
-----------
```shell
Bastille is an open-source system for automating deployment and management of
containerized applications on FreeBSD.

Usage:
bastille command TARGET [args]

Available Commands:
bootstrap Bootstrap a FreeBSD release for container base.
clone Clone an existing container.
cmd Execute arbitrary command on targeted container(s).
config Get or set a config value for the targeted container(s).
console Console into a running container.
convert Convert a Thin container into a Thick container.
cp cp(1) files from host to targeted container(s).
create Create a new thin container or a thick container if -T|--thick option specified.
destroy Destroy a stopped container or a FreeBSD release.
edit Edit container configuration files (advanced).
export Exports a specified container.
help Help about any command.
htop Interactive process viewer (requires htop).
import Import a specified container.
limits Apply resources limits to targeted container(s). See rctl(8).
list List containers (running and stopped).
mount Mount a volume inside the targeted container(s).
pkg Manipulate binary packages within targeted container(s). See pkg(8).
rdr Redirect host port to container port.
rcp reverse cp(1) files from a single container to the host.
rename Rename a container.
restart Restart a running container.
service Manage services within targeted container(s).
setup Attempt to auto-configure network, firewall and storage on new installs.
start Start a stopped container.
stop Stop a running container.
sysrc Safely edit rc files within targeted container(s).
tags Add or remove tags to targeted container(s).
template Apply file templates to targeted container(s).
top Display and update information about the top(1) cpu processes.
umount Unmount a volume from within the targeted container(s).
update Update container base -pX release.
upgrade Upgrade container release to X.Y-RELEASE.
verify Compare release against a "known good" index.
zfs Manage (get|set) ZFS attributes on targeted container(s).

Use "bastille -v|--version" for version information.
Use "bastille command -h|--help" for more information about a command.

```

## 0.10-beta
This document outlines the basic usage of the Bastille container management
framework. This release is still considered beta.

Setup Requirements
==================
Bastille can now (attempt) to configure the networking, firewall and storage
automatically. This feature is new since version 0.10.20231013.

**bastille setup**

```shell
ishmael ~ # bastille setup -h
ishmael ~ # Usage: bastille setup [pf|bastille0|zfs|vnet]
```

On fresh installations it is likely safe to run `bastille setup` with no
arguments. This will configure the firewall, the loopback interface and attempt
to determine ZFS vs UFS storage.

If you have an existing firewall, or customized network design, you may want to
run individual options; eg `bastille setup zfs` or `bastille setup vnet`.

Note: The `bastille setup` command can configure and enable PF but it does not
automatically reload the firewall. You will still need to manually `service pf
start`. At that point you'll likely be disconnected if configuring a remote
host. Simply reconnect the ssh session and continue.

This step only needs to be done once in order to prepare the host.

Example (create, start, console)
================================
This example creates, starts and consoles into the container.

```shell
ishmael ~ # bastille create alcatraz 14.0-RELEASE 10.17.89.10/24
```

```shell
ishmael ~ # bastille start alcatraz
[alcatraz]:
alcatraz: created
```

```shell
ishmael ~ # bastille console alcatraz
[alcatraz]:
FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE GENERIC
