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?

<title>Description</title>
|
||
|
||
<para><command>systemd-nspawn</command> may be used to
|
||
run a command or OS in a light-weight namespace
|
||
container. In many ways it is similar to
|
||
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>chroot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
||
but more powerful since it fully virtualizes the file
|
||
system hierarchy, as well as the process tree, the
|
||
various IPC subsystems and the host and domain
|
||
name.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><command>systemd-nspawn</command> limits access
|
||
to various kernel interfaces in the container to
|
||
read-only, such as <filename>/sys</filename>,
|
||
<filename>/proc/sys</filename> or
|
||
<filename>/sys/fs/selinux</filename>. Network
|
||
interfaces and the system clock may not be changed
|
||
from within the container. Device nodes may not be
|
||
created. The host system cannot be rebooted and kernel
|
||
modules may not be loaded from within the
|
||
container.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that even though these security precautions
|
||
are taken <command>systemd-nspawn</command> is not
|
||
suitable for secure container setups. Many of the
|
||
security features may be circumvented and are hence
|
||
primarily useful to avoid accidental changes to the
|
||
host system from the container. The intended use of
|
||
this program is debugging and testing as well as
|
||
building of packages, distributions and software
|
||
involved with boot and systems management.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>In contrast to
|
||
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>chroot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> <command>systemd-nspawn</command>
|
||
may be used to boot full Linux-based operating systems
|
||
in a container.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Use a tool like
|
||
<citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>yum</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
||
<citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>debootstrap</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
||
or
|
||
<citerefentry project='arch'><refentrytitle>pacman</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
||
to set up an OS directory tree suitable as file system
|
||
hierarchy for <command>systemd-nspawn</command>
|
||
containers.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that <command>systemd-nspawn</command> will
|
||
mount file systems private to the container to
|
||
<filename>/dev</filename>,
|
||
<filename>/run</filename> and similar. These will
|
||
not be visible outside of the container, and their
|
||
contents will be lost when the container exits.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Note that running two
|
||
<command>systemd-nspawn</command> containers from the
|
||
same directory tree will not make processes in them
|
||
see each other. The PID namespace separation of the
|
||
two containers is complete and the containers will
|
||
share very few runtime objects except for the
|
||
underlying file system. Use
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machinectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
|
||
<command>login</command> command to request an
|
||
additional login prompt in a running container.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para><command>systemd-nspawn</command> implements the
|
||
<ulink
|
||
url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ContainerInterface">Container
|
||
Interface</ulink> specification.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>As a safety check
|
||
<command>systemd-nspawn</command> will verify the
|
||
existence of <filename>/usr/lib/os-release</filename>
|
||
or <filename>/etc/os-release</filename> in the
|
||
container tree before starting the container (see
|
||
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>os-release</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>). It
|
||
might be necessary to add this file to the container
|
||
tree manually if the OS of the container is too old to
|
||
contain this file out-of-the-box.</para>
