+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-nspawn</command> may be used to run a command or OS in a light-weight namespace
+ container. In many ways it is similar to <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>chroot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>, but more powerful
+ since it fully virtualizes the file system hierarchy, as well as the process tree, the various IPC subsystems and
+ the host and domain name.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-nspawn</command> may be invoked on any directory tree containing an operating system tree,
+ using the <option>--directory=</option> command line option. By using the <option>--machine=</option> option an OS
+ tree is automatically searched for in a couple of locations, most importantly in
+ <filename>/var/lib/machines</filename>, the suggested directory to place container images installed on the
+ system.</para>
+
+ <para>In contrast to <citerefentry
+ project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>chroot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> <command>systemd-nspawn</command>
+ may be used to boot full Linux-based operating systems in a container.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-nspawn</command> limits access to various kernel interfaces in the container to read-only,
+ such as <filename>/sys</filename>, <filename>/proc/sys</filename> or <filename>/sys/fs/selinux</filename>. The
+ host's network interfaces and the system clock may not be changed from within the container. Device nodes may not
+ be created. The host system cannot be rebooted and kernel modules may not be loaded from within the
+ container.</para>
+
+ <para>Use a tool like <citerefentry
+ project='mankier'><refentrytitle>dnf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, <citerefentry
+ project='die-net'><refentrytitle>debootstrap</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, or
+ <citerefentry project='archlinux'><refentrytitle>pacman</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> to
+ set up an OS directory tree suitable as file system hierarchy for <command>systemd-nspawn</command> containers. See
+ the Examples section below for details on suitable invocation of these commands.</para>
+
+ <para>As a safety check <command>systemd-nspawn</command> will verify the existence of
+ <filename>/usr/lib/os-release</filename> or <filename>/etc/os-release</filename> in the container tree before
+ starting the container (see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>os-release</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>). It might be
+ necessary to add this file to the container tree manually if the OS of the container is too old to contain this
+ file out-of-the-box.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-nspawn</command> may be invoked directly from the interactive command line or run as system
+ service in the background. In this mode each container instance runs as its own service instance; a default
+ template unit file <filename>systemd-nspawn@.service</filename> is provided to make this easy, taking the container
+ name as instance identifier. Note that different default options apply when <command>systemd-nspawn</command> is
+ invoked by the template unit file than interactively on the command line. Most importantly the template unit file
+ makes use of the <option>--boot</option> which is not the default in case <command>systemd-nspawn</command> is
+ invoked from the interactive command line. Further differences with the defaults are documented along with the
+ various supported options below.</para>
+
+ <para>The <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machinectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> tool may
+ be used to execute a number of operations on containers. In particular it provides easy-to-use commands to run
+ containers as system services using the <filename>systemd-nspawn@.service</filename> template unit
+ file.</para>
+
+ <para>Along with each container a settings file with the <filename>.nspawn</filename> suffix may exist, containing
+ additional settings to apply when running the container. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
+ details. Settings files override the default options used by the <filename>systemd-nspawn@.service</filename>
+ template unit file, making it usually unnecessary to alter this template file directly.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that <command>systemd-nspawn</command> will mount file systems private to the container to
+ <filename>/dev</filename>, <filename>/run</filename> and similar. These will not be visible outside of the
+ container, and their contents will be lost when the container exits.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that running two <command>systemd-nspawn</command> containers from the same directory tree will not make
+ processes in them see each other. The PID namespace separation of the two containers is complete and the containers
+ will share very few runtime objects except for the underlying file system. Use
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machinectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
+ <command>login</command> or <command>shell</command> commands to request an additional login session in a running
+ container.</para>
+
+ <para><command>systemd-nspawn</command> implements the <ulink
+ url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ContainerInterface">Container Interface</ulink>
+ specification.</para>
+
+ <para>While running, containers invoked with <command>systemd-nspawn</command> are registered with the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> service that

+ user and group ids (UIDs and GIDs). This involves mapping the private UIDs/GIDs used in the container (starting
+ with the container's root user 0 and up) to a range of UIDs/GIDs on the host that are not used for other
+ purposes (usually in the range beyond the host's UID/GID 65536). The parameter may be specified as follows:</para>
+
+ <orderedlist>
+ <listitem><para>If one or two colon-separated numbers are specified, user namespacing is turned on. The first
+ parameter specifies the first host UID/GID to assign to the container, the second parameter specifies the

+ assigned.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>If the parameter is omitted, or true, user namespacing is turned on. The UID/GID range to
+ use is determined automatically from the file ownership of the root directory of the container's directory
+ tree. To use this option, make sure to prepare the directory tree in advance, and ensure that all files and
+ directories in it are owned by UIDs/GIDs in the range you'd like to use. Also, make sure that used file ACLs
+ exclusively reference UIDs/GIDs in the appropriate range. If this mode is used the number of UIDs/GIDs
+ assigned to the container for use is 65536, and the UID/GID of the root directory must be a multiple of
+ 65536.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>If the parameter is false, user namespacing is turned off. This is the default.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>The special value <literal>pick</literal> turns on user namespacing. In this case the UID/GID
+ range is automatically chosen. As first step, the file owner of the root directory of the container's
+ directory tree is read, and it is checked that it is currently not used by the system otherwise (in
+ particular, that no other container is using it). If this check is successful, the UID/GID range determined
+ this way is used, similar to the behavior if "yes" is specified. If the check is not successful (and thus
+ the UID/GID range indicated in the root directory's file owner is already used elsewhere) a new – currently
+ unused – UID/GID range of 65536 UIDs/GIDs is randomly chosen between the host UID/GIDs of 524288 and
+ 1878982656, always starting at a multiple of 65536. This setting implies
+ <option>--private-users-chown</option> (see below), which has the effect that the files and directories in
+ the container's directory tree will be owned by the appropriate users of the range picked. Using this option
+ makes user namespace behavior fully automatic. Note that the first invocation of a previously unused
+ container image might result in picking a new UID/GID range for it, and thus in the (possibly expensive) file
+ ownership adjustment operation. However, subsequent invocations of the container will be cheap (unless of
+ course the picked UID/GID range is assigned to a different use by then).</para></listitem>
+ </orderedlist>
+
+ <para>It is recommended to assign at least 65536 UIDs/GIDs to each container, so that the usable UID/GID range in the
+ container covers 16 bit. For best security, do not assign overlapping UID/GID ranges to multiple containers. It is
+ hence a good idea to use the upper 16 bit of the host 32-bit UIDs/GIDs as container identifier, while the lower 16
+ bit encode the container UID/GID used. This is in fact the behavior enforced by the
+ <option>--private-users=pick</option> option.</para>
+
+ <para>When user namespaces are used, the GID range assigned to each container is always chosen identical to the
+ UID range.</para>
+
+ <para>In most cases, using <option>--private-users=pick</option> is the recommended option as it enhances
+ container security massively and operates fully automatically in most cases.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that the picked UID/GID range is not written to <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> or
+ <filename>/etc/group</filename>. In fact, the allocation of the range is not stored persistently anywhere,
