New blog post: Managing FreeBSD Jails with Ansible.

I wrote jailexec - an Ansible connection plugin that lets you manage FreeBSD jails without running SSH inside each one. It connects to the jail host via SSH and uses jexec to run commands, just like you would manually.

Features:
• Single Python file, easy install
• Supports doas and sudo
• Secure two-stage file transfers
• Works with any jail manager
