Description-en: nss module to resolve hostnames for local container instances
nss-mymachines is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality
of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing hostname resolution for local containers
that are registered with systemd-machined.service(8). The container names are
resolved to IP addresses of the specific container, ordered by their scope.
