- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para><command>systemd-machine-id-setup</command> may be used by
- system installer tools to initialize the machine ID stored in
- <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> at install time, with a
- provisioned or randomly generated ID. See
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- for more information about this file.</para>
-
- <para>If the tool is invoked without the <option>--commit</option>
- switch, <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> is initialized with a
- valid, new machined ID if it is missing or empty. The new machine
- ID will be acquired in the following fashion:</para>
-
- <orderedlist>
- <listitem><para>If a valid D-Bus machine ID is already
- configured for the system, the D-Bus machine ID is copied and
- used to initialize the machine ID in
- <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename>.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>If run inside a KVM virtual machine and a UUID
- is configured (via the <option>-uuid</option>
- option), this UUID is used to initialize the machine ID. The
- caller must ensure that the UUID passed is sufficiently unique
- and is different for every booted instance of the
- VM.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Similarly, if run inside a Linux container
- environment and a UUID is configured for the container, this is
- used to initialize the machine ID. For details, see the
- documentation of the <ulink
- url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ContainerInterface">Container
- Interface</ulink>.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>Otherwise, a new ID is randomly
- generated.</para></listitem>
- </orderedlist>
-
- <para>The <option>--commit</option> switch may be used to commit a
- transient machined ID to disk, making it persistent. For details,
- see below.</para>
-
- <para>Use
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- to initialize the machine ID on mounted (but not booted) system
- images.</para>

- <para>The following options are understood:</para>
-
- <variablelist>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term><option>--root=<replaceable>root</replaceable></option></term>
- <listitem><para>Takes a directory path as argument. All paths
- operated will be prefixed with the given alternate
- <replaceable>root</replaceable> path, including the path for
- <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> itself.</para></listitem>
- </varlistentry>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term><option>--commit</option></term>
- <listitem><para>Commit a transient machine ID to disk. This
- command may be used to convert a transient machine ID into a
- persistent one. A transient machine ID file is one that was
- bind mounted from a memory file system (usually
- <literal>tmpfs</literal>) to
- <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> during the early phase of
- the boot process. This may happen because
- <filename>/etc</filename> is initially read-only and was
- missing a valid machine ID file at that point.</para>
-
- <para>This command will execute no operation if
- <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> is not mounted from a
- memory file system, or if <filename>/etc</filename> is
- read-only. The command will write the current transient
- machine ID to disk and unmount the
- <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> mount point in a
- race-free manner to ensure that this file is always valid and
- accessible for other processes.</para>
-
- <para>This command is primarily used by the
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machine-id-commit.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- early boot service.</para></listitem>
- </varlistentry>
