+FreeBSD Jail With iocage
+========================
+
+
+This tutorial shows how zrepl can be installed on FreeBSD, or FreeNAS in a jail using iocage.
+While this tutorial focuses on using iocage, much of the setup would be similar
+using a different jail manager.
+
+.. NOTE::
+
+   From a security perspective, just keep in mind that ``zfs send``/``recv`` was never designed with
+   jails in mind, an attacker could probably crash the receive-side kernel or worse induce stateful
+   damage to the receive-side pool if they were able to get access to the jail.
+
+   The jail doesn't provide security benefits, but only management ones.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+A dataset that will be delegated to the jail needs to be created if one does not already exist.
+For the tutorial ``tank/zrepl`` will be used.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   zfs create -o mountpoint=none tank/zrepl
+
+The only software requirements on the host system are ``iocage``, which can be installed
+from ports or packages.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   pkg install py37-iocage
+
+.. NOTE::
+
+   By default ``iocage`` will "activate" on first use which will set up some defaults such as
+   which pool will be used. To activate ``iocage`` manually the ``iocage activate`` command can be used.
+
+Jail Creation
+-------------
+
+There are two options for jail creation using FreeBSD.
+
+1. Manually set up the jail from scratch
+2. Create the jail using the ``zrepl`` plugin. On FreeNAS this is possible from the user interface using the community index.
+
+Manual Jail
+###########
+
+Create a jail, using the same release as the host, called ``zrepl`` that will be automatically started at boot.
+The jail will have ``tank/zrepl`` delegated into it.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   iocage create --release "$(freebsd-version -k | cut -d '-' -f '1,2')" --name zrepl \
+          boot=on nat=1 \
+          jail_zfs=on \
+          jail_zfs_dataset=zrepl \
+          jail_zfs_mountpoint='none'
+
+Enter the jail:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   iocage console zrepl
+
+Install ``zrepl``
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   pkg update && pkg upgrade
+   pkg install zrepl
+
+Create the log file ``/var/log/zrepl.log``
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   touch /var/log/zrepl.log && service newsyslog restart
+
+Tell syslogd to redirect facility local0 to the ``zrepl.log`` file:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   service syslogd reload
+
+Enable the zrepl daemon to start automatically at boot:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   sysrc zrepl_enable="YES"
+
+
+Plugin
+######
+
+When using the plugin, ``zrepl`` will be installed for you in a jail using the following ``iocage`` properties.
+
+* ``nat=1``
+* ``jail_zfs=on``
+* ``jail_zfs_mountpoint=none``
+
+Additionally the delegated dataset should be specified upon creation, and optionally start on boot can be set.
+This can also be done from the FreeNAS webui.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ix-plugin-hub/iocage-plugin-index/master/zrepl.json -o /tmp/zrepl.json
+   iocage fetch -P /tmp/zrepl.json --name zrepl jail_zfs_dataset=zrepl boot=on
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+Now ``zrepl`` can be configured.
+
+Enter the jail.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   iocage console zrepl
+
+Modify the ``/usr/local/etc/zrepl/zrepl.yml`` configuration file.
+
+.. TIP::
+
+    Note: check out the :ref:`tutorial` for examples of a ``sink`` job.
+
+Now ``zrepl`` can be started.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   service zrepl start
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+Congratulations, you have a working jail!
