<title>Description</title>
<para><command>nss-mymachines</command> is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of
the GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>), providing hostname resolution for the names of containers running
locally that are registered with
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>. 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 (see the description of
<option>--private-network</option> in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
Note that the name that is resolved is the one registered with <command>systemd-machined</command>, which
may be different than the hostname configured inside of the container.</para>
<para>The module also provides name resolution for user and group identifiers mapped to containers. All names from
the range allocated to a given container <replaceable>container</replaceable> are exposed on the host as
<literal>vu-<replaceable>container</replaceable>-<replaceable>uid</replaceable></literal> and
<literal>vg-<replaceable>container</replaceable>-<replaceable>gid</replaceable></literal> (see example below). This
functionality only applies to containers using user namespacing (see the description of
<option>--private-users</option> in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>).</para>
<para>To activate the NSS module, add <literal>mymachines</literal> to the lines starting with
<literal>hosts:</literal>, <literal>passwd:</literal> and <literal>group:</literal> in
<filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>.</para>
<para>It is recommended to place <literal>mymachines</literal> after the <literal>files</literal> or
<literal>compat</literal> entry of the <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> lines to make sure that its mappings
are preferred over other resolvers such as DNS, but so that <filename>/etc/hosts</filename>,
<filename>/etc/passwd</filename> and <filename>/etc/group</filename> based mappings take precedence.</para>
