2015-05-05man: document that nspawn -x, --template= and machinectl clone leave ↵Lennart Poettering
hostname and machine id unmodified
2015-05-05man: nspawn is used in production these days, admit thatLennart Poettering
Previously, the man page suggested to only use nspawn for testing, building, and debugging things. However, it is nowadays used in production and used as building block for rocket, hence let's just admit that it's pretty much production ready.
2015-04-27man: document that nspawn's --bind= switch may be used multiple timesLennart Poettering
2015-03-13man: fix a bunch of linksZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
All hail linkchecker!
2015-02-25nspawn: make kill signal to use for PID 1 configurableLennart Poettering
2015-02-18nspawn: add support for --property= to set scope propertiesLennart Poettering
This is similar to systemd-run's --property= setting.
2015-02-03Reindent man pages to 2chZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
2015-02-01man: switch yum to dnf for FedoraZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
The dnf name is here to stay, we might as well adjust.

2015-01-20nspawn: add ipvlan supportTom Gundersen
2015-01-15nspawn,machined: change default container image location from ↵Lennart Poettering
/var/lib/container to /var/lib/machines Given that this is also the place to store raw disk images which are very much bootable with qemu/kvm it sounds like a misnomer to call the directory "container". Hence, let's change this sooner rather than later, and use the generic name, in particular since we otherwise try to use the generic "machine" preferably over the more specific "container" or "vm".
2015-01-13nspawn: add "-n" shortcut for "--network-veth"Lennart Poettering
Now that networkd's IP masquerading support means that running containers with "--network-veth" will provide network access out of the box for the container, let's add a shortcut "-n" for it, to make it easily accessible.
2015-01-13nspawn: add new option "--port=" for exposing container ports on the local hostLennart Poettering
This exposes an IP port on the container as local port using DNAT.

2014-12-12nspawn: when booting in ephemeral mode, append random token to machine nameLennart Poettering
Also, when booting up an ephemeral container of / use the system hostname as default machine name. This way specifiyng -M is unnecessary when booting up an ephemeral container, while allowing any number of ephemeral containers to run from the same tree.
2014-12-12nspawn: beef up nspawn with some btrfs magicLennart Poettering
This adds --template= to duplicate an OS tree as btrfs snpashot and run it This also adds --ephemeral or -x to create a snapshot of an OS tree and boot that, removing it after exit.
2014-11-21nspawn: Add try-{host,guest} journal link modesMartin Pitt
--link-journal={host,guest} fail if the host does not have persistent journalling enabled and /var/log/journal/ does not exist. Even worse, as there is no stdout/err any more, there is no error message to point that out. Introduce two new modes "try-host" and "try-guest" which don't fail in this case, and instead just silently skip the guest journal setup. Change -j to mean "try-guest" instead of "guest", and fix the wrong --help output for it (it said "host" before). Change systemd-nspawn@.service.in to use "try-guest" so that this unit works with both persistent and non-persistent journals on the host without failing. https://bugs.debian.org/770275

2014-07-07man: add a mapping for external manpagesZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
It is annoying when we have dead links on fd.o. Add project='man-pages|die-net|archlinux' to <citerefentry>-ies. In generated html, add external links to http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man, http://linux.die.net/man/, https://www.archlinux.org/. By default, pages in sections 2 and 4 go to man7, since Michael Kerrisk is the autorative source on kernel related stuff. The rest of links goes to linux.die.net, because they have the manpages. Except for the pacman stuff, since it seems to be only available from archlinux.org. Poor gummiboot gets no link, because gummitboot(8) ain't to be found on the net. According to common wisdom, that would mean that it does not exist. But I have seen Kay using it, so I know it does, and deserves to be found. Can somebody be nice and put it up somewhere?
2014-07-04man: document nspawn's new --volatile switchLennart Poettering
2014-06-13os-release: define /usr/lib/os-release as fallback for /etc/os-releaseLennart Poettering
The file should have been in /usr/lib/ in the first place, since it describes the OS container in /usr (and not the configuration in /etc), hence, let's support os-release files in /usr/lib as fallback if no version in /etc exists, following the usual override logic. A prior commit already enabled tmpfiles to create /etc/os-release as a symlink to /usr/lib/os-release should it be missing, thus providing nice compatibility with applications only checking in /etc. While it's probably a good idea if all apps check both locations via a fallback logic, it is only necessary in the early boot process, as long as the /etc/os-release symlink has not been restored, in case we boot with an empty /etc.
2014-06-11nspawn: add new --tmpfs= option to mount a tmpfs on specific directories, ↵Lennart Poettering
such as /var
2014-05-07doc: comma placement corrections and word orderJan Engelhardt
Set commas where there should be some. Some improvements to word order.
2014-05-07doc: corrections to words and formsJan Engelhardt
This patch exchange words which are inappropriate for a situation, deletes duplicated words, and adds particles where needed.

Discoverable Partitions Specification

2014-02-21nspawn: when adding a veth interface to a bridge, use the "vb-" rather than ↵Lennart Poettering
"ve-" interface name prefix This way we can recognize the interfaces later on to apply different host-side configuration to them.
2014-02-18nspawn: add new --personality= switch to make it easier to run 32bit ↵Lennart Poettering
containers on a 64bit host
2014-02-17doc: resolve missing/extraneous words or inappropriate formsJan Engelhardt
Issues fixed: * missing words required by grammar * duplicated or extraneous words * inappropriate forms (e.g. singular/plural), and declinations * orthographic misspellings
2014-02-17doc: update punctuationJan Engelhardt
Resolve spotted issues related to missing or extraneous commas, dashes.
2014-02-16nspawn: add new --network-bridge= switchTom Gundersen
This adds the host side of the veth link to the given bridge. Also refactor the creation of the veth interfaces a bit to set it up from the host rather than the container. This simplifies the addition to the bridge, but otherwise the behavior is unchanged.
2014-02-13nspawn: add new --network-veth switch to add a virtual ethernet link to the hostLennart Poettering
2014-02-13nspawn: --private-network should imply CAP_NET_ADMINLennart Poettering

into the container

or services) as machine with machined
2014-02-11nspawn: add --register=yes|no switch to optionally disable registration of ↵Lennart Poettering

2014-02-10nspawn,man: use a common vocabulary when referring to selinux security contextsLennart Poettering
Let's always call the security labels the same way: SMACK: "Smack Label" SELINUX: "SELinux Security Context" And the low-level encapsulation is called "seclabel". Now let's hope we stick to this vocabulary in future, too, and don't mix "label"s and "security contexts" and so on wildly.
2014-02-07nspawn: rename --file-label to --apifs-label since it's really just about ↵Lennart Poettering
the API file systems, nothing else
2014-02-06nspawn: add --quiet switch for turning off any output noiseLennart Poettering
2014-02-04nspawn: various fixes in selinux hookupLennart Poettering
- As suggested, prefix argument variables with "arg_" how we do this usually. - As suggested, don't involve memory allocations when storing command line arguments. - Break --help text at 80 chars - man: explain that this is about SELinux - don't do unnecessary memory allocations when putting together mount option string
