NSS-MYMACHINES(8)               nss-mymachines               NSS-MYMACHINES(8)

NAME
       nss-mymachines, libnss_mymachines.so.2 - Provide hostname resolution
       for local container instances.
SYNOPSIS
       libnss_mymachines.so.2
DESCRIPTION
       nss-mymachines is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS)
       functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing hostname
       resolution for containers running locally, that are registered with
       systemd-machined.service(8). The container names are resolved to IP
       addresses of the specific container, ordered by their scope.
       To activate the NSS modules, "mymachines" has to be added to the line
       starting with "hosts:" in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
       It is recommended to place "mymachines" near the end of the
       nsswitch.conf line to make sure that this mapping is only used as
       fallback, and any DNS or /etc/hosts based mapping takes precedence.
EXAMPLE
       Here's an example /etc/nsswitch.conf file, that enables mymachines
       correctly:
           passwd:   compat
           group:    compat
           shadow:   compat
           hosts:    files dns mymachines myhostname
           networks:       files
           protocols:      db files
           services:       db files
           ethers:   db files
           rpc:      db files
           netgroup:       nis
