## Description

`systemd-machined` is a system service that keeps track of virtual machines and containers, and processes belonging to them.

See systemd-nspawn 1 for some examples on how to run containers with OS tools.

Use nss-mymachines 8 to make the names of local containers known to `systemd-machined` locally resolvable as host names.

See the machined D-Bus API Documentation for information about the APIs `systemd-machined` provides.
