| <title>Description</title> |
| |
| <para><command>nss-mymachines</command> is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of |
| the GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>), providing hostname resolution for the names of containers running |
| locally that are registered with |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The |
| container names are resolved to the IP addresses of the specific container, ordered by their scope. This |
| functionality only applies to containers using network namespacing (see the description of |
| <option>--private-network</option> in |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>). |
| Note that the name that is resolved is the one registered with <command>systemd-machined</command>, which |
| may be different than the hostname configured inside of the container.</para> |
| |
| <para>The module also provides name resolution for user and group identifiers mapped to containers. All names from |
| the range allocated to a given container <replaceable>container</replaceable> are exposed on the host as |
| <literal>vu-<replaceable>container</replaceable>-<replaceable>uid</replaceable></literal> and |
| <literal>vg-<replaceable>container</replaceable>-<replaceable>gid</replaceable></literal> (see example below). This |
| functionality only applies to containers using user namespacing (see the description of |
| <option>--private-users</option> in |
| <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>).</para> |
| |
| <para>To activate the NSS module, add <literal>mymachines</literal> to the lines starting with |
| <literal>hosts:</literal>, <literal>passwd:</literal> and <literal>group:</literal> in |
| <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>.</para> |
| |
| <para>It is recommended to place <literal>mymachines</literal> after the <literal>files</literal> or |
| <literal>compat</literal> entry of the <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> lines to make sure that its mappings |
| are preferred over other resolvers such as DNS, but so that <filename>/etc/hosts</filename>, |
| <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> and <filename>/etc/group</filename> based mappings take precedence.</para> |
