+# Debian k3s Jail Template
+
+## Setup
+
+Check out the [config](./config) template file. You may provide it when asked during `./jlmkr.py create` or, if you have the template file stored on your NAS, you may provide it directly by running `./jlmkr.py create --start --config /mnt/tank/path/to/k3s/config myk3sjail`.
