f220d83c | 44 | |
798d3a52 ZJS |
45 | <para><filename>systemd-getty-generator</filename> is a generator |
46 | that automatically instantiates | |
8522ee79 AJ |
47 | <filename>serial-getty@.service</filename> on the kernel |
48 | console(s), if they can function as ttys and are not provided by | |
49 | the virtual console subsystem. It will also instantiate | |
798d3a52 ZJS |
50 | <filename>serial-getty@.service</filename> instances for |
51 | virtualizer consoles, if execution in a virtualized environment is | |
8522ee79 AJ |
52 | detected. If execution in a container environment is detected, it |
53 | will instead enable <filename>console-getty.service</filename> for | |
54 | <filename>/dev/console</filename>, and | |
798d3a52 ZJS |
55 | <filename>container-getty@.service</filename> instances for |
56 | additional container pseudo TTYs as requested by the container | |
57 | manager (see <ulink | |
28a0ad81 | 58 | url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ContainerInterface/"><filename>Container |
798d3a52 ZJS |
59 | Interface</filename></ulink>). This should ensure that the user is |
60 | shown a login prompt at the right place, regardless of which | |
61 | environment the system is started in. For example, it is | |
62 | sufficient to redirect the kernel console with a kernel command | |
63 | line argument such as <varname>console=</varname> to get both | |
64 | kernel messages and a getty prompt on a serial TTY. See <ulink | |
