NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

If you have ever used Vagrant or Docker Compose, Reggae is best described as an alternative to those. It enables you easy development inside jail while code editing is done on the host. It makes transition from development to production easier by using provisioners. It makes host clean of all requirements of development and puts them inside jail which is easily stopped, started, provisioned, and destroyed.

To initialize Reggae run the following as root:

PF is initialized only if /etc/pf.conf doesn't exist already. In those cases PF services should be restarted.

Through config file in /usr/local/etc/reggae.conf you can change values for anything Reggae is using. reggae network-init will make sure sshd is listening to lo0 on hosts with dynamic IP, and on lo0 and egress if the IP is static. This way host sshd doesn't have a conflict with the jailed one. Also, if IP is dynamic, PF will be configured so it redirects all requests for SSH on egress to lo0. One of the advantages is that you can use ssh's ProxyCommand to login to jail, even though jail is behind NAT.

Ater reggae master-init, you'll get two master jails: DHCP and DNS. They are used to lease IPs to virtual machines and to register all resources in DNS so that you can use FQDN instead of IP addresses. The DNS jail IP is used in /etc/resolvconf.conf if host has dynamic IP on egress, so that changes of network parameters are passed to the appropriate jail. Also, host will use DNS jail IP in /etc/resolv.conf. In short, it enables you to not remember jail IPs when you have to use them, but use <jail name>.<domain> to reference them, in which case comes from /usr/local/etc/reggae.conf.
