bastille-import(8) System Manager's Manual bastille-import(8) NAME bastille import -- Import a jail. SYNOPSIS bastille [-fMvx] TARGET [RELEASE] DESCRIPTION The bastille sub-command will attempt to import a jail from an image or archive. Bastille supports importing jails from other jail managers such as iocage, ezjail and qjail. For most foreign jail imports, Bastille will convert the config syntax into Bastille readable format, but sometimes it might be necessary to edit the jail.conf file manually. -f, --force Force an archive import without validation checksum. -M, --static-mac Use a static/persistent MAC address (VNET only) when importing foreign jails. -v, --verbose Enable verbose mode (ZFS only). -x, --debug Enable debug mode. The FILE arguement should be the full filename, including the absolute path. The only exception is if the archive is inside the backups di- rectory. See bastille.conf(5). If the RELEASE argument is specified, Bastille will import the jail us- ing that release.
