How to add a command or binary to CageFS for all users using Filesystem Templates

Question

How do you add a command or binary to CageFS for all users using Filesystem Templates?

Answer

1. Log in to the server via SSH or WHM's Terminal as the root user

2. Create a new file with a name that makes sense for the binary that you are adding. For example:

   # touch /etc/cagefs/conf.d/myCustomBinary.cfg

   Note: You should not directly edit existing files in the /etc/cagefs/conf.d directory. CloudLinux updates will remove changes to files provided by CloudLinux, so a new file is required for any customizations.

3. Open the file you created with your favorite text editor, and add the following configuration. Be sure to update the specifics to match your own binary:

   CONFIG_TEXT: [my-custom-binary]
   comment=This is a binary that is not typically found inside of CageFS.
   paths=/bin/my-custom-binary, /usr/bin/another-custom-binary

4. Then update CageFS to include the changes:

   # cagefsctl --force-update
