Jailkit Problems

Do you mean copying? I have tried that first with the same result (i.e. no results).

How can I trace what is missing for proper scp or wget functioning?

RTFM "jailkit" really helps. For those lazy people like me a short summary:

Edit /etc/jailkit/jk_init.ini to change all paths to your system's correct values. Mine first two sections looks like that now:

[uidbasics]
comment = common files for all jails that need user/group information
libraries = /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnsl*, /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss*
regularfiles = /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/ld.so.conf

[netbasics]
comment = common files for all jails that need any internet connectivity
libraries = /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss*
regularfiles = /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/host.conf, /etc/hosts, /etc/protocols, /etc/services

Then run

jk_init -f -k -j /var/www/clients/client1/web1 scp

using your own values instead of client1/web1 and scp

I was having the same difficulty. Thanks!

I wonder if we could request a feature for the admin control panel to call jk_update so once I've fixed the jk_init.ini file I can tell the control panel to fix either all or just individual jails.

For now, after fixing jk_init.ini, I just use:

jk_update -j /var/www/clients/clientx/webx

and the problems I've been having go away.

Luckily I only have a couple of jails, but I'd imagine it would be tedious if there were more. By the way, if you are using a 32-bit version of Ubuntu the directory starts with i386 not x64.

Thanks for the help!

Makes sense to add a jailkit update functionality. Please make a feature request for that in the bugtracker.

Solution to both (replace # with your client and site numbers):

cp /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss_* /var/www/clients/client#/web#/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

So what to do if I don't have /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnss_* or /lib/x86-linux-gnu/libnss_* installed?

Permanent solution likely involves a fix in /etc/jailkit/jk_init.ini. The paths it contains are wrong for some of the libs and it does not list all the necessary libs.

Is this something that will solve itself from upstream by magical fairies or do I need to manually do this (and what exactly)

So for now I use FTPS, but I rather have SFTP working too (needing an ssh account is a plus for me...)
