Version Tags

Tag Description Best For
latest Upstream Binary. Built from official release. Most users — recommended.
pkg FreeBSD Quarterly. Uses stable, tested packages. Production stability.
pkg-latest FreeBSD Latest. Rolling package updates. Staying current.
k8s Same as :latest (s6) but with DAEMONLESS_SUPERVISE=orchestrator baked in: a service exit terminates the container so the orchestrator (Kubernetes, etc.) restarts the pod. Alternative build.

Before deploying, ensure your host environment is ready. See the Quick Start Guide for host setup instructions, including the security model for host vs. container privileges.

Warning

Exposing ports in AppJail means that your service can be reached from remote hosts. If that is not your intention, do not expose the ports and communicate with the service using the jail's IPv4 address or hostname assigned by the virtual network.

Experimental

Bastille's OCI support is experimental. It requires buildah and shares the host network stack (inherit). Mount volumes with --volume HOST JAIL; without it, image-declared volumes are stored under ${bastille_volumesdir}/${jail}.
