13 nss-mymachines is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS)
14 functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing hostname
15 resolution for containers running locally, that are registered with
16 systemd-machined.service(8). The container names are resolved to IP
17 addresses of the specific container, ordered by their scope.
18
19 To activate the NSS modules, "mymachines" has to be added to the line
20 starting with "hosts:" in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
21
22 It is recommended to place "mymachines" near the end of the
23 nsswitch.conf line to make sure that this mapping is only used as
24 fallback, and any DNS or /etc/hosts based mapping takes precedence.

27 Here's an example /etc/nsswitch.conf file, that enables mymachines
28 correctly:
29
30 passwd: compat
31 group: compat
32 shadow: compat
33
34 hosts: files dns mymachines myhostname
35 networks: files

37 protocols: db files
38 services: db files
