f220d83c | 30 | |
798d3a52 ZJS |
31 | <para><filename>systemd-getty-generator</filename> is a generator |
32 | that automatically instantiates | |
8522ee79 AJ |
33 | <filename>serial-getty@.service</filename> on the kernel |
34 | console(s), if they can function as ttys and are not provided by | |
35 | the virtual console subsystem. It will also instantiate | |
798d3a52 ZJS |
36 | <filename>serial-getty@.service</filename> instances for |
37 | virtualizer consoles, if execution in a virtualized environment is | |
8522ee79 AJ |
38 | detected. If execution in a container environment is detected, it |
39 | will instead enable <filename>console-getty.service</filename> for | |
40 | <filename>/dev/console</filename>, and | |
798d3a52 ZJS |
41 | <filename>container-getty@.service</filename> instances for |
42 | additional container pseudo TTYs as requested by the container | |
43 | manager (see <ulink | |
28a0ad81 | 44 | url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ContainerInterface/"><filename>Container |
798d3a52 ZJS |
45 | Interface</filename></ulink>). This should ensure that the user is |
46 | shown a login prompt at the right place, regardless of which | |
47 | environment the system is started in. For example, it is | |
48 | sufficient to redirect the kernel console with a kernel command | |
49 | line argument such as <varname>console=</varname> to get both | |
50 | kernel messages and a getty prompt on a serial TTY. See <ulink | |
