    <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
    randomly generated ID. See
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for more information about this file.</para>

    <para>This tool will execute no operation if
    <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> is already
    initialized.</para>

    <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>

    <para>If run inside a KVM virtual machine and a UUID is passed via
    the <option>-uuid</option> option, this UUID is used to initialize
    the machine ID instead of a randomly generated one. The caller
    must ensure that the UUID passed is sufficiently unique and is
    different for every booted instanced of the VM.</para>

    <para>Similar, if run inside a Linux container environment and a
    UUID is set 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>

    <para>Use
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    to initialize the machine ID on mounted (but not booted) system
    images.</para>
