|
<para><command>systemd-machine-id-setup</command> may be used by
|
|
system installer tools to initialize the machine ID stored in
|
|
<filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> at install time, with a
|
|
provisioned or randomly generated ID. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-id</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for more information about this file.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the tool is invoked without the <option>--commit</option>
|
|
switch, <filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> is initialized with a
|
|
valid, new machined ID if it is missing or empty. The new machine
|
|
ID will be acquired in the following fashion:</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para>If a valid D-Bus machine ID is already
|
|
configured for the system, the D-Bus machine ID is copied and
|
|
used to initialize the machine ID in
|

<filename>/etc/machine-id</filename>.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>If run inside a KVM virtual machine and a UUID
|
|
is configured (via the <option>-uuid</option>
|
|
option), this UUID is used to initialize the machine ID. The
|

caller must ensure that the UUID passed is sufficiently unique
|
|
and is different for every booted instance of the
|
|
VM.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>Similarly, if run inside a Linux container environment and a UUID is configured for the

container, this is used to initialize the machine ID. For details, see the documentation of the <ulink

|

<listitem><para>Otherwise, a new ID is randomly

generated.</para></listitem>

<para>The <option>--commit</option> switch may be used to commit a

<listitem><para>Commit a transient machine ID to disk. This
|
|
command may be used to convert a transient machine ID into a
|
|
persistent one. A transient machine ID file is one that was
|
|
bind mounted from a memory file system (usually
|
|
<literal>tmpfs</literal>) to
|
|
<filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> during the early phase of
|
|
the boot process. This may happen because
|
|
<filename>/etc/</filename> is initially read-only and was
|
|
missing a valid machine ID file at that point.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This command will execute no operation if
|
|
<filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> is not mounted from a
|
|
memory file system, or if <filename>/etc/</filename> is
|
|
read-only. The command will write the current transient
|
|
machine ID to disk and unmount the
|
|
<filename>/etc/machine-id</filename> mount point in a
|
|
race-free manner to ensure that this file is always valid and
|
|
accessible for other processes.</para>
|
|

<para>This command is primarily used by the
