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 +\fBsystemd\-nspawn\fR +command line, and make it easier to persistently attach specific settings to specific containers\&. The syntax of these files is inspired by +\&.desktop +files, similarly to other configuration files supported by the systemd project\&. See +\fBsystemd.syntax\fR(7) +for an overview\&. +.SH "\&.NSPAWN FILE DISCOVERY" +.PP +Files are searched for by appending the +\&.nspawn +suffix to the machine name of the container, as specified with the +\fB\-\-machine=\fR +switch of +\fBsystemd\-nspawn\fR, or derived from the directory or image file name\&. This file is first searched for in +/etc/systemd/nspawn/ +and +/run/systemd/nspawn/\&. 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\&. +.PP +Persistent settings files created and maintained by the administrator (and thus trusted) should be placed in +/etc/systemd/nspawn/, while automatically downloaded (and thus potentially untrusted) settings files are placed in +/var/lib/machines/ +instead (next to the container images), where their security impact is limited\&. In order to add privileged settings to +\&.nspawn +files acquired from the image vendor, it is recommended to copy the settings files into +/etc/systemd/nspawn/ +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 +\fBsystemd\-nspawn\fR\*(Aqs +\fB\-\-settings=\fR +switch, see +\fBsystemd-nspawn\fR(1) +for details\&. +.SH "[EXEC] SECTION OPTIONS" +.PP +Settings files may include an [Exec] section, which carries various execution parameters: +.PP +\fIBoot=\fR +.RS 4 +Takes a boolean argument, which defaults to off\&. If enabled, +\fBsystemd\-nspawn\fR +will automatically search for an +init +executable and invoke it\&. In this case, the specified parameters using +\fIParameters=\fR +are passed as additional arguments to the +init +process\&. This setting corresponds to the +\fB\-\-boot\fR +switch on the +\fBsystemd\-nspawn\fR +command line\&. This option may not be combined with +\fIProcessTwo=yes\fR\&. This option is specified by default in the +systemd\-nspawn@\&.service +template unit\&. +.sp +Added in version 226\&. +.RE +.PP +\fIEphemeral=\fR +.RS 4 +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 +\fB\-\-ephemeral\fR +command line switch\&. See +\fBsystemd-nspawn\fR(1) +for details about the specific options supported\&. +.sp +Added in version 240\&. +.RE +.PP +\fIProcessTwo=\fR +.RS 4 +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 +\fB\-\-as\-pid2\fR +switch on the +\fBsystemd\-nspawn\fR +command line\&. This option may not be combined with +\fIBoot=yes\fR\&. +.sp +Added in version 229\&. +.RE +.PP +\fIParameters=\fR +.RS 4 +Takes a whitespace\-separated list of arguments\&. Single ("\*(Aq") and double (""") quotes may be used around arguments with whitespace\&. This is either a command line, beginning with the binary name to execute, or \(en if +\fIBoot=\fR +is enabled \(en the list of arguments to pass to the init process\&.

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 +\fB\-\-setenv=\fR +command line switch\&. +.sp +Added in version 226\&. +.RE +.PP +\fIUser=\fR +.RS 4 +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\*(Aqs user database\&. This corresponds to the +\fB\-\-user=\fR +command line switch\&. +.sp +Added in version 226\&. +.RE +.PP +\fIWorkingDirectory=\fR +.RS 4 +Selects the working directory for the process invoked in the container\&.

This corresponds to the +\fB\-\-pivot\-root=\fR +command line switch\&. +.sp +Added in version 233\&. +.RE +.PP +\fICapability=\fR, \fIDropCapability=\fR +.RS 4 +Takes a space\-separated list of Linux process capabilities (see +\fBcapabilities\fR(7) +for details)\&. The +\fICapability=\fR +setting specifies additional capabilities to pass on top of the default set of capabilities\&. The +\fIDropCapability=\fR +setting specifies capabilities to drop from the default set\&.

If the special value +"all" +is passed, all capabilities are retained (or dropped)\&. +.sp +These settings change the bounding set of capabilities which also limits the ambient capabilities as given with the +\fIAmbientCapability=\fR\&. +.sp +Added in version 226\&. +.RE +.PP +\fIAmbientCapability=\fR +.RS 4 +Takes a space\-separated list of Linux process capabilities (see +\fBcapabilities\fR(7) +for details)\&. The +\fIAmbientCapability=\fR +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 +\fB\-\-ambient\-capability=\fR +command line switch\&. +.sp +The value +"all" +is not supported for this setting\&. +.sp +The setting of +\fIAmbientCapability=\fR +must be covered by the bounding set settings which were established by +\fICapability=\fR +and +\fIDropCapability=\fR\&. +.sp +Note that +\fIAmbientCapability=\fR +is a privileged setting (see above)\&. +.sp +Added in version 248\&. +.RE +.PP +\fINoNewPrivileges=\fR +.RS 4 +Takes a boolean argument that controls the +\fBPR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS\fR +flag for the container payload\&.
