     success!

     I have a jail 🙂

     # STARTUP/LOGGING
     exec.clean;
     exec.start = "/bin/sh /etc/rc";
     exec.stop = "/bin/sh /etc/rc.shutdown";
     exec.consolelog = "/var/log/jail_console_${name}.log";

     # PERMISSIONS
     allow.raw_sockets;
     exec.clean;
     mount.devfs;
     devfs_ruleset = 5;
     vnet;
     allow.raw_sockets = 1;
     vnet.interface = "${epair}b";

     # HOSTNAME/PATH
     host.hostname = "${name}.dune.local";
     path = "/usr/local/jails/containers/${name}";
     $epair = "epair${id}";
     $bridge = "bridge0";

     reverse-proxy {
     $id = 13;
     vnet.interface = "${epair}b";
     exec.start += "dhclient ${epair}b";
     exec.prestart = "/sbin/ifconfig ${epair} create up";
     exec.prestart += "/sbin/ifconfig ${epair}a up descr jail:${name}";
     exec.prestart += "/sbin/ifconfig ${bridge} addm ${epair}a up";

     exec.poststop = "/sbin/ifconfig ${bridge} deletem ${epair}a";
     exec.poststop += "/sbin/ifconfig ${epair}a destroy";
     }

     (https://wiki.freebsd.org/Jails is an essential resource)

     - RPi imagined with default RPi FreeBSD image
     - I spent an hour trying to "bsdinstall" before understanding that I had a fully working system before me. The image consists of a working env:-)
     - added user, configured doas
     - opened a new thumbdrive, formatted it as ZFS and I'm starting to create jail there :-)

     ok, so I am now a proud owner of "crys.site" domain.

     Bonus points if you get the reference

     edit: the more I think of it, the more I like. It has crapload of meaning. I may even start with a sonnet.

     @mms I have one tip: do not use the normal mount or mount.fstab features when mounting stuff into the jail. It has a terrible failure mode if something is already mounted -- it will always error and prevent the jail from starting.
     
     Instead do something like:
     
     exec.prestart += "mount -a -F /etc/fstab.$name";
     
     and
     
     exec.poststop += "umount -a -F /etc/fstab.$name";
     
     
     that will ensure the jail won't refuse to start if this happens.
     
     I need to get this fixed upstream. It's a huge issue that somehow has been ignored for a long time.

     @mms btw this includes mount.devfs! Sometimes you stop jails and devfs didn't get unmounted. So restarting the jail fails...
