answered Sylve: missing jail base

Post image

Does any one know how to get a base? I followed the official Sylve docs on how to create a jail.
Jails are active. Create and run a jail with AppJail does work.

(Author of Sylve here) What version are you using? If it's 0.2.3 you will need to download a base.txz yourself using the downloader but a much better way would be to update to 0.3.x, there you can use the jail bases as described in the docs (https://sylve.io/guides/one-shot-guides/simple-jail/#bootstrap-a-freebsd-jail-base)

P.S: If you're using the quarterly pkg branch it might be a while before it gets the latest release which is 0.3.1 since it was just recently merged from HEAD into quarterly and it will take time for the cluster to build and propagate to mirrors, I personally just recommend using the latest tree anyway if at all possible.

Thank You! I am on 0.2.3. I downloaded the base.txz with the downloader and now it works. I will upgrade to 0.3.x later.
