By default Jailkit allows certain commands or applications only. Below is the process to allow your users to access other commands or any custom command.
Here I wanted users to access PHP commandline and composer
-
If needed then first install those applications normally as root
-
Add entries for the applications/commands to the jailkit config file These block names will be used in ISPConfig. The folder/directories are important - else the necessary libraries and supporting files will not be copied and the application will not work properly for the users.
-
Once the blocks have been added, the programs and all related files will have to be copied to the particular users webspace. The jk_init command copies all files and related libraries with permissions. jk_init -c /etc/jailkit/jk_init.ini -f -k -j /var/www/clients/clientXXX/webXXX php jk_init -c /etc/jailkit/jk_init.ini -f -k -j /var/www/clients/client1/web3 composer
-
After copying the files update the Jailkit section of ISPConfig - add the block names of the applications that the users will be permitted to use System -> Server Config -> Jailkit chroot app section
If the commands are still not accessible – then the users should try relogin first.
One thought on “ISPConfig with Jailkit – allowing custom or other commands for users”
