<para>An nspawn container settings file (suffix <filename>.nspawn</filename>) contains runtime
configuration for a local container, and is used used by
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
Files of this type are named after the containers they define settings for. They are optional, and only
required for containers whose execution environment shall differ from the defaults. Files of this type
mostly contain settings that may also be set on the <command>systemd-nspawn</command> command line, and
make it easier to persistently attach specific settings to specific containers. The syntax of these files
is inspired by <filename>.desktop</filename> files, similarly to other configuration files supported by
the systemd project. See

<para>Files are searched for by appending the <filename>.nspawn</filename> suffix to the machine name of
the container, as specified with the <option>--machine=</option> switch of
<command>systemd-nspawn</command>, or derived from the directory or image file name. This file is first
searched for in <filename>/etc/systemd/nspawn/</filename> and
<filename>/run/systemd/nspawn/</filename>. If found there, the settings are read and all of them take
full effect (but may still be overridden by corresponding command line arguments). Otherwise, the file
will then be searched for next to the image file or in the immediate parent of the root directory of the
container. If the file is found there, only a subset of the settings will take effect however. All
settings that possibly elevate privileges or grant additional access to resources of the host (such as
files or directories) are ignored. To which options this applies is documented below.</para>

When these disk images are booted on real hardware, ostree-prepare-root is run in conjunction with sysroot.mount in the initramfs to achieve the same results.

systemd-nspawn: Allow setting ambient capability set The old code was only able to pass the value 0 for the inheritable and ambient capability set when a non-root user was specified. However, sometimes it is useful to run a program in its own container with a user specification and some capabilities set. This is needed when the capabilities cannot be provided by file capabilities (because the file system is mounted with MS_NOSUID for additional security). This commit introduces the option --ambient-capability and the config file option AmbientCapability=. Both are used in a similar way to the existing Capability= setting. It changes the inheritable and ambient set (which is 0 by default). The code also checks that the settings for the bounding set (as defined by Capability= and DropCapability=) and the setting for the ambient set (as defined by AmbientCapability=) are compatible. Otherwise, the operation would fail in any way. Due to the current use of -1 to indicate no support for ambient capability set the special value "all" cannot be supported. Also, the setting of ambient capability is restricted to running a single program in the container payload.

nspawn: introduce --notify-ready=[no|yes] (#3474) This the patch implements a notificaiton mechanism from the init process in the container to systemd-nspawn. The switch --notify-ready=yes configures systemd-nspawn to wait the "READY=1" message from the init process in the container to send its own to systemd. --notify-ready=no is equivalent to the previous behavior before this patch, systemd-nspawn notifies systemd with a "READY=1" message when the container is created. This notificaiton mechanism uses socket file with path relative to the contanier "/run/systemd/nspawn/notify". The default values it --notify-ready=no. It is also possible to configure this mechanism from the .nspawn files using NotifyReady. This parameter takes the same options of the command line switch. Before this patch, systemd-nspawn notifies "ready" after the inner child was created, regardless the status of the service running inside it. Now, with --notify-ready=yes, systemd-nspawn notifies when the service is ready. This is really useful when there are dependencies between different contaniers. Fixes https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1369 Based on the work from https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/3022 Testing: Boot a OS inside a container with systemd-nspawn. Note: modify the commands accordingly with your filesystem. 1. Create a filesystem where you can boot an OS. 2. sudo systemd-nspawn -D ${HOME}/distros/fedora-23/ sh 2.1. Create the unit file /etc/systemd/system/sleep.service inside the container (You can use the example below) 2.2. systemdctl enable sleep 2.3 exit 3. sudo systemd-run --service-type=notify --unit=notify-test ${HOME}/systemd/systemd-nspawn --notify-ready=yes -D ${HOME}/distros/fedora-23/ -b 4. In a different shell run "systemctl status notify-test" When using --notify-ready=yes the service status is "activating" for 20 seconds before being set to "active (running)". Instead, using --notify-ready=no the service status is marked "active (running)" quickly, without waiting for the 20 seconds. This patch was also test with --private-users=yes, you can test it just adding it at the end of the command at point 3. ------ sleep.service ------ [Unit] Description=sleep After=network.target [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/bin/sleep 20 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ------------ end ------------

nspawn: implement configurable syscall whitelisting/blacklisting Now that we have ported nspawn's seccomp code to the generic code in seccomp-util, let's extend it to support whitelisting and blacklisting of specific additional syscalls. This uses similar syntax as PID1's support for system call filtering, but in contrast to that always implements a blacklist (and not a whitelist), as we prepopulate the filter with a blacklist, and the unit's system call filter logic does not come with anything prepopulated. (Later on we might actually want to invert the logic here, and whitelist rather than blacklist things, but at this point let's not do that. In case we switch this over later, the syscall add/remove logic of this commit should be compatible conceptually.) Fixes: #5163 Replaces: #5944

nspawn: add new --rlimit= switch, and always set resource limits explicitly for our container payloads This ensures we set the various resource limits of our container explicitly on each invocation so that we inherit less from our callers into the payload. By default resource limits are now set to the same values Linux generally passes to the host PID 1, thus minimizing needless differences between host and container environments. The limits are now also configurable using a new --rlimit= switch. This is preparation for teaching nspawn native OCI runtime support as OCI permits setting resource limits for container payloads, and it hence probably makes sense if we do too.

nspawn: make the hostname of the container explicitly configurable with a new --hostname= switch Previously, the container's hostname was exclusively initialized from the machine name configured with --machine=, i.e. the internal name and the external name used for and by the container was synchronized. This adds a new option --hostname= that optionally allows the internal name to deviate from the external name. This new option is mainly useful to ultimately implement the OCI runtime spec directly in nspawn, but it might be useful on its own for some other usecases too.

nspawn: add new --network-veth-extra= switch for defining additional veth links The new switch operates like --network-veth, but may be specified multiple times (to define multiple link pairs) and allows flexible definition of the interface names. This is an independent reimplementation of #1678, but defines different semantics, keeping the behaviour completely independent of --network-veth. It also comes will full hook-up for .nspawn files, and the matching documentation.
