Ispconfig – How to add more applications to shell user Jailkit chroot

Jailkit for Debian Stretch (add PHP, Drush, Composer, NodeJS, NPM, Ruby, Gem, Compass)

The jail gets created when you add the first ssh user or jailed cronjob to a new website.

A website can only be under one jail; shell users are assigned to a website, and you can add multiple shell users under one sites (so all users would have the same commands in their jail environment). If you add a second website under Sites > Websites > Add new Website, that will get a separate jail environment.

Before we begin make sure you follow the – The Perfect Server – Debian 10 installation

1.

If you followed (The Perfect Server – Debian 10 ) in ispconfig documentation you should have php already installed.

Install Composer

sudo apt-get install composer

Install Node.js and NPM

sudo apt install nodejs

Install Ruby and Gem

sudo apt install ruby-full

Install Compass

sudo gem install compass

After you have installed the required libraries we need to update the commands in the jailkit init file.

sudo nano /etc/jailkit/jk_init.ini

2.

Add the following lines at the end if they don’t already exist.

[php]
comment = the php interpreter and libraries
executables = /usr/bin/php,/usr/bin/php5.6,/usr/bin/php7.0,/usr/bin/php7.1
directories = /usr/lib/php, /usr/share/php, /usr/share/php5, /etc/php, /usr/share/php-geshi, /usr/share/zoneinfo, /etc/snmp, /usr/share/snmp
includesections = env

[env]
comment = environment variables
executables = /usr/bin/env

[mysql-client]
comment = mysql client
executables = /usr/bin/mysql, /usr/bin/mysqldump
paths = /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so

[composer]
comment = composer
executables = /usr/bin/composer
includesections = php, uidbasics, netbasics

[node]
comment = NodeJS
executables = /usr/bin/npm, /usr/bin/node, /usr/bin/nodejs
directories = /usr/lib/node_modules

[ruby]
comment = Ruby
executable = /usr/bin/ruby, /usr/bin/gem, /usr/bin/gem2.3
directories = /usr/lib/ruby, /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ruby, /var/lib/gems, /usr/share/rubygems-integration

[compass]
comment = Compass
executables = /usr/bin/compass
includesections = ruby
directories = /usr/share/compass

3.

For the final step, update the system -> server config with ( php git composer node ruby compass )

Create a new ( site -> add new website ) and all ssh commands should be available. If you experience any issues please let me know in the comments below.
