<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para><command>nss-resolve</command> is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the
|
||
GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>) enabling it to resolve hostnames via the
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> local network
|
||
name resolution service. It replaces the <command>nss-dns</command> plug-in module that traditionally resolves
|
||
hostnames via DNS.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>To activate the NSS module, add <literal>resolve [!UNAVAIL=return]</literal> to the line starting
|
||
with <literal>hosts:</literal> in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>. Specifically, it is
|
||
recommended to place <literal>resolve</literal> early in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>'s
|
||
<literal>hosts:</literal> line. It should be before the <literal>files</literal> entry, since
|
||
<filename>systemd-resolved</filename> supports <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> internally, but with
|
||
caching. To the contrary, it should be after <literal>mymachines</literal>, to give hostnames given to
|
||
local VMs and containers precedence over names received over DNS. Finally, we recommend placing
|
||
<literal>dns</literal> somewhere after <literal>resolve</literal>, to fall back to
|
||
<command>nss-dns</command> if <filename>systemd-resolved.service</filename> is not available.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that <command>systemd-resolved</command> will synthesize DNS resource records in a few cases,
|
||
for example for <literal>localhost</literal> and the current local hostname, see
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
|
||
the full list. This duplicates the functionality of
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>nss-myhostname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, but
|
||
it is still recommended (see examples below) to keep <command>nss-myhostname</command> configured in
|
||
<filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>, to keep those names resolveable if
|
||
<command>systemd-resolved</command> is not running.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Please keep in mind that <command>nss-myhostname</command> (and <command>nss-resolve</command>) also resolve
|
||
in the other direction — from locally attached IP addresses to
|
||
hostnames. If you rely on that lookup being provided by DNS, you might
|
||
want to order things differently.
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Communication between <command>nss-resolve</command> and
|
||
<filename>systemd-resolved.service</filename> takes place via the
|
||
<filename>/run/systemd/resolve/io.systemd.Resolve</filename> <constant>AF_UNIX</constant> socket.</para>
