<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><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><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><refentrytitle>yum</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
or
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>debootstrap</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.</para>

<para><command>systemd-nspawn</command> implements the
