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.
2014-05-06doc: typographical fine tuningJan Engelhardt
2014-03-11man: improve nspawn's --user= documentationLennart Poettering
2014-03-10nspawn: add --image= switch to boot GPT disk images that follow the ↵Lennart Poettering
Discoverable Partitions Specification
2014-02-25nspawn: add new switch --network-macvlan= to add a macvlan device to the ↵Lennart Poettering
container
2014-02-20man: xinclude --help/--version/--no-pagerZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
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
2014-02-13nspawn: add new --network-interface= switch to move an existing interface ↵Lennart Poettering
into the container
2014-02-13nspawn: introduce --capability=all for retaining all capabilitiesLennart Poettering
2014-02-12nspawn: newer kernels (>= 3.14) allow resetting the audit loginuid, make use ↵Lennart Poettering
of this
2014-02-11machined: optionally, allow registration of pre-existing units (scopesLennart Poettering
or services) as machine with machined
2014-02-11nspawn: add --register=yes|no switch to optionally disable registration of ↵Lennart Poettering
the container with machined
2014-02-10nspawn: add new --share-system switch to run a container without PID/UTS/IPC ↵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
2014-02-04Add SELinux support to systemd-nspawnDan Walsh
This patch adds to new options: -Z PROCESS_LABEL This specifies the process label to run on processes run within the container. -L FILE_LABEL The file label to assign to memory file systems created within the container. For example if you wanted to wrap an container with SELinux sandbox labels, you could execute a command line the following chcon system_u:object_r:svirt_sandbox_file_t:s0:c0,c1 -R /srv/container systemd-nspawn -L system_u:object_r:svirt_sandbox_file_t:s0:c0,c1 -Z system_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c0,c1 -D /srv/container /bin/sh

2013-09-12man: wording and grammar updatesJan Engelhardt
This is a recurring submission and includes corrections to various issue spotted. I guess I can just skip over reporting ubiquitous comma placement fixes… Highligts in this particular commit: - the "unsigned" type qualifier is completed to form a full type "unsigned int" - alphabetic -> lexicographic (that way we automatically define how numbers get sorted)
2013-09-10man: wording and grammar updatesJan Engelhardt
This includes regularly-submitted corrections to comma setting and orthographical mishaps that appeared in man/ in recent commits. In this particular commit: - the usual comma fixes - expand contractions (this is prose)
2013-08-19man: fix spacing issue in systemd-nspawn(1)Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Same as 1e158d273.
2013-07-19man: update systemd-nspawn regarding new --slice= logicLennart Poettering
2013-07-02man: improve grammar and word formatting in numerous man pagesJason St. John
Use proper grammar, word usage, adjective hyphenation, commas, capitalization, spelling, etc. To improve readability, some run-on sentences or sentence fragments were revised. [zj: remove the space from 'file name', 'host name', and 'time zone'.]

the user what's going on Let's try to be helpful to the user and give him a hint what he can do to make nspawn work with normal OS containers. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=893751
