To be fair, ez-jails doesn&#x27;t really abstract away that much. It just streamlines some of the more monotonous stuff.<p>My home server did originally run with jails which I&#x27;d created by hand and that worked really well for a while. But I started running into issues keeping the jails up-to-date. So I recreated those jails with ez-jails and the whole platform has been faultless ever since.<p>In fact it&#x27;s been such an effective set up that I&#x27;ve been considering flattening my Proxmox box and running FreeBSD + Jails on that as well
