That’s a different kind of jail-commands Andrea is probably referring to: these are used to manage the jail configuration on the jail-host, while Andrea was talking about configuration _in_ the jail. However, I didn’t know of this module before, so thanks. The modular approach however is very useful: so do I use the docker module to create/maintain containers which will restart automatically when the configuration changes. The yaml files make creating containers quite fun.

Never heard of CBSD, but this looks to me like another jail manager, like ezjail.
