nss-mymachines, libnss_mymachines.so.2 - Hostname resolution for
local container instances
libnss_mymachines.so.2
nss-mymachines is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service
Switch (NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc),
providing hostname resolution for the names of containers running
locally that are registered with systemd-machined.service(8). 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 --private-network in systemd-nspawn(1)). Note that
the name that is resolved is the one registered with
systemd-machined, which may be different than the hostname
configured inside of the container.
To activate the NSS module, add "mymachines" to the line starting
with "hosts:" in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
It is recommended to place "mymachines" before the "resolve" or
"dns" entry of the "hosts:" line of /etc/nsswitch.conf in order
to make sure that its mappings are preferred over other resolvers
such as DNS.
Here is an example /etc/nsswitch.conf file that enables
nss-mymachines correctly:
passwd: compat systemd
group: compat [SUCCESS=merge] systemd
shadow: compat
hosts: mymachines resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] files myhostname dns
networks: files
protocols: db files
services: db files
ethers: db files
rpc: db files
netgroup: nis
The container "rawhide" is spawned using systemd-nspawn(1):
# systemd-nspawn -M rawhide --boot --network-veth --private-users=pick
Spawning container rawhide on /var/lib/machines/rawhide.
Selected user namespace base 20119552 and range 65536.
