9053aaad | 31 | <para><command>nss-resolve</command> is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the |
38b38500 | 32 | GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>) enabling it to resolve hostnames via the |
9053aaad LP |
33 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> local network |
34 | name resolution service. It replaces the <command>nss-dns</command> plug-in module that traditionally resolves | |
35 | hostnames via DNS.</para> | |
36 | ||
44b7aedb ZJS |
37 | <para>To activate the NSS module, add <literal>resolve [!UNAVAIL=return]</literal> to the line starting |
38 | with <literal>hosts:</literal> in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>. Specifically, it is | |
39 | recommended to place <literal>resolve</literal> early in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>'s | |
40 | <literal>hosts:</literal> line. It should be before the <literal>files</literal> entry, since | |
41 | <filename>systemd-resolved</filename> supports <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> internally, but with | |
42 | caching. To the contrary, it should be after <literal>mymachines</literal>, to give hostnames given to | |
43 | local VMs and containers precedence over names received over DNS. Finally, we recommend placing | |
44 | <literal>dns</literal> somewhere after <literal>resolve</literal>, to fall back to | |
45 | <command>nss-dns</command> if <filename>systemd-resolved.service</filename> is not available.</para> | |
2b015ea4 ZJS |
46 | |
47 | <para>Note that <command>systemd-resolved</command> will synthesize DNS resource | |
25fb19da | 48 | records in a few cases, for example for <literal>localhost</literal> and the |
2b015ea4 ZJS |
49 | current hostname, see |
50 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
51 | for the full list. This duplicates the functionality of | |
52 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nss-myhostname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, | |
53 | but it is still recommended (see examples below) to keep | |
54 | <command>nss-myhostname</command> configured in | |
55 | <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>, to keep those names resolveable if | |
56 | <command>systemd-resolved</command> is not running.</para> | |
