<title>Description</title>
<para>An nspawn container settings file (suffix <filename>.nspawn</filename>) contains runtime
configuration for a local container, and is 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
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.syntax</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for an
overview.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title><filename>.nspawn</filename> File Discovery</title>
<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>
<para>Persistent settings files created and maintained by the
administrator (and thus trusted) should be placed in
<filename>/etc/systemd/nspawn/</filename>, while automatically
downloaded (and thus potentially untrusted) settings files are
placed in <filename>/var/lib/machines/</filename> instead (next to
the container images), where their security impact is limited. In
order to add privileged settings to <filename>.nspawn</filename>
files acquired from the image vendor, it is recommended to copy the
settings files into <filename>/etc/systemd/nspawn/</filename> and
edit them there, so that the privileged options become
available. The precise algorithm for how the files are searched and
interpreted may be configured with
<command>systemd-nspawn</command>'s <option>--settings=</option>
switch, see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details.</para>

<title>[Exec] Section Options</title>
<para>Settings files may include an [Exec]
section, which carries various execution parameters:</para>
<variablelist class='nspawn-directives'>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>Boot=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument, which defaults to off. If enabled, <command>systemd-nspawn</command>
will automatically search for an <filename>init</filename> executable and invoke it. In this case, the
specified parameters using <varname>Parameters=</varname> are passed as additional arguments to the
<filename>init</filename> process. This setting corresponds to the <option>--boot</option> switch on the
<command>systemd-nspawn</command> command line. This option may not be combined with
<varname>ProcessTwo=yes</varname>. This option is specified by default in the
<filename>systemd-nspawn@.service</filename> template unit.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>Ephemeral=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument, which defaults to off, If enabled, the container is run with
a temporary snapshot of its file system that is removed immediately when the container terminates.
This is equivalent to the <option>--ephemeral</option> command line switch. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-nspawn</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> for details
about the specific options supported.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>ProcessTwo=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument, which defaults to off. If enabled, the specified program is run as
PID 2. A stub init process is run as PID 1. This setting corresponds to the <option>--as-pid2</option> switch
on the <command>systemd-nspawn</command> command line. This option may not be combined with
<varname>Boot=yes</varname>.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>Parameters=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a whitespace-separated list of arguments. Single (<literal>'</literal>) and
double (<literal>"</literal>) quotes may be used around arguments with whitespace. This is either a
command line, beginning with the binary name to execute, or – if <varname>Boot=</varname> is enabled
– the list of arguments to pass to the init process. This setting corresponds to the command line
parameters passed on the <command>systemd-nspawn</command> command line.</para>
<para>Note: <option>Boot=no</option>, <option>Parameters=a b "c c"</option> is the same as
<command>systemd-nspawn a b "c c"</command>, and <option>Boot=yes</option>, <option>Parameters=b 'c c'</option>
is the same as <command>systemd-nspawn --boot b 'c c'</command>.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>Environment=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes an environment variable assignment
consisting of key and value, separated by
<literal>=</literal>. Sets an environment variable for the
main process invoked in the container. This setting may be
used multiple times to set multiple environment variables. It
corresponds to the <option>--setenv=</option> command line
switch.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>User=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a UNIX user name. Specifies the user
name to invoke the main process of the container as. This user
must be known in the container's user database. This
corresponds to the <option>--user=</option> command line
switch.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>WorkingDirectory=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Selects the working directory for the process invoked in the container. Expects an absolute
path in the container's file system namespace. This corresponds to the <option>--chdir=</option> command line
switch.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>PivotRoot=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Selects a directory to pivot to <filename>/</filename> inside the container when starting up.
Takes a single path, or a pair of two paths separated by a colon. Both paths must be absolute, and are resolved
in the container's file system namespace. This corresponds to the <option>--pivot-root=</option> command line
switch.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>Capability=</varname></term>
<term><varname>DropCapability=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a space-separated list of Linux process
capabilities (see
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>capabilities</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details). The <varname>Capability=</varname> setting
specifies additional capabilities to pass on top of the
default set of capabilities. The
<varname>DropCapability=</varname> setting specifies
capabilities to drop from the default set. These settings
correspond to the <option>--capability=</option> and
<option>--drop-capability=</option> command line
switches. Note that <varname>Capability=</varname> is a
privileged setting, and only takes effect in
<filename>.nspawn</filename> files in
<filename>/etc/systemd/nspawn/</filename> and
<filename>/run/system/nspawn/</filename> (see above). On the
other hand, <varname>DropCapability=</varname> takes effect in
all cases. If the special value <literal>all</literal> is passed, all
capabilities are retained (or dropped).</para>
<para>These settings change the bounding set of capabilities which
also limits the ambient capabilities as given with the
<varname>AmbientCapability=</varname>.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>AmbientCapability=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a space-separated list of Linux process
capabilities (see
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>capabilities</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details). The <varname>AmbientCapability=</varname> setting
specifies capabilities which will be passed to the started program
in the inheritable and ambient capability sets. This will grant
these capabilities to this process. This setting correspond to
the <option>--ambient-capability=</option> command line switch.
</para>
<para>The value <literal>all</literal> is not supported for this
setting.</para>
<para>The setting of <varname>AmbientCapability=</varname> must
be covered by the bounding set settings which were established by
<varname>Capability=</varname> and <varname>DropCapability=</varname>.
</para>
<para>Note that <varname>AmbientCapability=</varname> is a privileged
setting (see above).</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>NoNewPrivileges=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument that controls the <constant>PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS</constant> flag for
the container payload. This is equivalent to the
