Hello,
With vnet=1 and ip4_addr="REALDHCP", I can't manage to install pkg from pkglist.

It has some resolution issue:

pkg install, attempt: 1/2
pkg: Error fetching http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly/Latest/pkg.txz: Host does not resolve
Address resolution failed for http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly.
Consider changing PACKAGESITE.
Bootstrapping pkg from pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:14:amd64/quarterly, please wait...

Interestingly if I don't add pkgs machines starts correctly with correct ip from dhcp server. Anyway if I try to bootstrap pkg from within the jail it doesn't work, it complains that pkg is already installed. I had to resort to boostrap using pkg-static.

Now if ip4_addr=0 everything works, but then I have to dhclient eth0 inside the jail. Or to change ip4_addr="REALDHCP" after the jail creation.

I am not familiar with CBSD and I am trying to migrate from iocage so perhaps I am missing something, but I have tried to go through docs and issues before reporting.

Thanks,
Alessandro

Installation of packages via pkglist occurs before the container receives an address. For this reason, static configuration works correctly (when the network settings are correct), e.g..

cbsd jcreate jname=test1 allow_raw_sockets=1 vnet=1 runasap=1 ip4_addr="10.0.100.212" ci_gw4="10.0.100.1" pkglist="net/fping"

As far as I understand, static configuration is not suitable for you. In this case, you can use the post-create function. This is convenient if you are using a CBSDfile method and it works after the container has started, e.g. CBSDfile:

jail_test1()
{
        allow_raw_sockets=1
        vnet=1
        runasap=1
        devfs_ruleset=99                # unhide /dev ( /dev/bpf for dhclient ), for test only
        sysrc="ifconfig_eth0=DHCP syslogd_flags='-ss' sendmail_enable=NO sendmail_submit_enable=NO sendmail_outbound_enable=NO sendmail_msp_queue_enable=NO cron_enable=NO"
}

postcreate_test1()
{
        jexec <<EOF
export PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/root/bin
pkg install -y net/fping
EOF
}

cbsd up

I'll try to see if we can make the pkg dependency on 'dhclient' in vnet-based jails

Thanks for the quick reply and much appreciated for providing a workaround.

But yet il will definitively be streamlined if you can integrate in normal flow.
