mkwebuser

The mkwebuser tool creates a user, together with a mounted volume of specified size. The user is put into a chroot jail and an sftp account is created. This results in a safe unescapable user environment with sftp access and quota limit.

Process

1. Creates user <username> with home directory at <user_base>/<username>
2. Creates an ext4 volume with <quota> MiB at <user_base>/<username>/volume
3. Mounts the volume at <mount_base>/<username>
4. Chroot jails user <username> to <mount_base>/<username>
5. Creates an openssh sftp nologin entry for <username>
