I just discovered Blackship, a new jail manager. It looks to have been AI-coded in a short period of time last December. Ironic, since the author's blog is full of anti-AI posts. I haven't tried it. But from looking at the docs and the code, I can see that the feature set is impressive. The test suite, however, is clearly an afterthought. In particular, I see zero tests that verify blackship runs (or would run) correct ZFS commands, jail IOCTLs, etc. The author is named Abdelkader Boudih , and he has several freebsd-src commits since this January. This tool isn't yet in the ports tree. https://github.com/seuros/blackship https://www.seuros.com/
