NAME
systemd-machine-id-setup - Initialize the machine ID in /etc/machine-id
SYNOPSIS
systemd-machine-id-setup
DESCRIPTION
systemd-machine-id-setup may be used by system installer tools to initialize the machine
ID stored in /etc/machine-id at install time with a randomly generated ID. See machine-
id(5) for more information about this file.
This tool will execute no operation if /etc/machine-id is already initialized.
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 /etc/machine-id.
If run inside a KVM virtual machine and a UUID is passed via the -uuid option, this UUID
is used to initialize the machine ID instead of a randomly generated one. The caller must
ensure that the UUID passed is sufficiently unique and is different for every booted
instanced of the VM.
Similar, if run inside a Linux container environment and a UUID is set for the container
this is used to initialize the machine ID. For details see the documentation of the
Container Interface[1].
Use systemd-firstboot(1) to initialize the machine ID on mounted (but not booted) system
images.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
--root=root
Takes a directory path as an argument. All paths will be prefixed with the given
alternate root path, including config search paths.
-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
--version
Print a short version string and exit.
EXIT STATUS
On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
