After upgrading to 15.1 there's a message to run service local_unbound setup. Well... that deleted all my config. :( I use it internally for my local lan and I could rewrite it easily however I didn't expect to overwrite the old config.

pertho: Someone just posted a matrix of Intel support on the forums You might want to look there.

is there a list of invalid characters in network interface names?

kerneldove: ifconfig(8) man page: Name may not be longer than 15 characters. No other character restrictions listed.

even '`"? that's wild

is there anything wrong with renaming network interfaces to arbitrary strings? it would be to help me keep track of which is which. like ifconfig epair5 create; ifconfig epair5a name foo-bar

thermos: I suggest creating a dataset on the host and nullfs mounting it in the jail

Maybe you can unjail a dataset that was previously jailed, but I think they aren't meant to be unjailed

ifconfig em0 name eth0

no, no problem at all

ok cool ty!

kerneldove: i forget that bhyve adds the host to the description. does jails do not?

description: vnet0 host interface for Bastille jail dns0

bastille does

rtprio it does but i need to distinguish interfaces i give to jails. the handbook uses the 4th octet of its ipv4 ip, but not all of my jails have public ips. some only have private ips because they're 'behind' a nat jail that has the public ip and proxies for the other jails

what do you think about that?

but then it would still at least have a jail name, ya?

ya

so sounds like you're coming to my idea of using jail name as interface name?

but i still don't see the problem?

k if a jail doesn't have a public ip, what unit number to use for "epair"?

that's the problem

doesn't your jail manager assign one automatically?

in the handbook, last octet of its public ip is the {id} in jail config

i don't use a jail manager

i haven't found something like vm-bhyve but for jails

like bastille?

is it?

which i don't think is quite on par with vm-bhyve but does a lot of what i need

it does manage to pick non-conflicting epair names tho

what does it base them on?

it renames mine to ed0a_hostname

* automagically *

what's ed0?

er, e0a_ it's the epair

if you want to change a jail's hostname does it rename the if?

bastille rename dns0 dns1

did if change?

i'm sure it would, -a would restart it, which would presumably recreate the interface

ok well it's an interesting idea

i already base jail name on hostname, so if too woul dbe consistent with that

e0_ is an interesting convention too

i notice ed0a_hostname has no unit number at the end. is the 0 the unit number?

rtprio ?
