nss-mymachines, libnss_mymachines.so.2 - Provide hostname resolution
for local container instances.
libnss_mymachines.so.2
nss-mymachines is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch
(NSS) functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc), providing hostname
resolution for the names of containers running locally that are
registered with systemd-machined.service(8). The container names are
resolved to the IP addresses of the specific container, ordered by
their scope. This functionality only applies to containers using
network namespacing.
The module also resolves user and group IDs used by containers to
user and group names indicating the container name, and back. This
functionality only applies to containers using user namespacing.
To activate the NSS module, add "mymachines" to the lines starting
with "hosts:", "passwd:" and "group:" in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
It is recommended to place "mymachines" after the "files" or "compat"
entry of the /etc/nsswitch.conf lines to make sure that its mappings
are preferred over other resolvers such as DNS, but so that
/etc/hosts, /etc/passwd and /etc/group based mappings take
precedence.
Here is an example /etc/nsswitch.conf file that enables
nss-mymachines correctly:
passwd: compat mymachines systemd
group: compat mymachines systemd
shadow: compat
hosts: files mymachines resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns myhostname
networks: files
protocols: db files
services: db files
ethers: db files
rpc: db files
netgroup: nis
