[systemd-devel] nss-mymachines and virtual machines

[Simon Peeters]

hej,

In the light of my linux classes i was looking into hooking up vagrant
with machined in order to be able to use nss-mymachines to resolve the
ip address on the host-only adaptor. Unfortunatly the network side of
machined seems to only work with containers (since afaik it looks for
a veth pair).

It would be nice to enable this also for virtual machines (in this
case virtualbox).

we could:
 * allow the ip and optionally interface to be specified on machine creation.
   + ensures nobody can change it once the machine is running
   - would require yet another "create" dbus call
 * add the ip and interface as writable properties.
   + less code, easy to use.
   - allows any system process (not only the supervisor of the
machine) to modify this information at runtime.

Any ideas on this?
