使用 systemd-nspawn 这个命令我们可以很方便的创建一个 Linux 容器，需要的只是一个使用 systemd 作为 init 的 Linux 发行版的根文件系统。通过创建容器，我们可以获得一个可以随便折腾而不用担心损坏的 Linux 环境。这里用 Ubuntu 16.04 和 CentOS 7 为例，整个过程可以说是非常简单（虽然比起 Docker 还是麻烦了点）
对于 Ubuntu，可以直接从源里下载到它的根文件系统。下载一份，并解压到 /var/lib/machines/ubuntu1604：

sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/machines/ubuntu1604
wget http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/ubuntu-cdimage/ubuntu-base/releases/16.04.3/release/ubuntu-base-16.04.1-base-amd64.tar.gz -O /tmp/rootfs.tgz
sudo tar xpzf /tmp/rootfs.tgz -C /var/lib/machines/ubuntu1604
|
OK，到此为止我们就得到了一个可以被 systemd-nspawn 启动的 rootfs，不过我们还需要一些配置，例如修改 root 密码等等：
1
2
|
chroot /var/lib/machines/ubuntu1604 /usr/bin/passwd root
echo ubuntu > /var/lib/machines/ubuntu1604/etc/hostname
|
下面只需要用 systemd-nspawn 来“启动”这个容器：
1
|
systemd-nspawn -b -D /var/lib/machines/ubuntu1604 --bind=/lib/firmware
|
这样就完成了！相当简单吧～输出内容大概是这样：

值得注意的是，这个容器和虽然看起来很像那么一回事儿，但是它的内核和网络等仍然是使用宿主机的。
如果我们想让这个容器拥有独立的网络呢？其实也很简单，只要给它一个桥接的接口就行了。首先我们需要准备一个桥接接口，此处以 netctl 为例，准备好配置文件：
1
2
3
4
5
|
Description="A bridge connection"
Interface=br0
Connection=bridge
BindsToInterfaces=(enp1s0 enp2s0 enp3s0 enp4s0)
IP=dhcp
|
这样就是将 enp1s0 ~ enp4s0 这四张网卡桥接，形成 br0 接口，并通过 DHCP 获得 IP 地址。
然后微调启动命令，增加一个命令 --network-bridge=br0 即可，例如：
1
|
systemd-nspawn -b -D /var/lib/machines/ubuntu1604 --bind=/lib/firmware --network-bridge=br0
|
启动完成后，通过 ip link 命令就能看到接口了，我这里看到的是 host0@if9。之后再按照对应的发行版修改一下网络配置，就完成了。
如果不想每次都通过这么长的命令来启动容器，我们可以使用 systemd 提供的 machinectl 命令来完成容器的开启与关闭，比如：
1
2
3
|
machinectl start ubuntu1604
machinectl login ubuntu1604
machinectl stop ubuntu1604
|
如果需要添加额外的参数，可以前往 /etc/systemd/nspawn 目录创建一个同名文件，例如 ubuntu1604.nspawn，在其中写上这个容器的配置，例如：
1
2
3
4
5

9
10
|
[Exec]
Boot=true
[Files]
Bind=/lib/firmware:/lib/firmware
[Network]
VirtualEthernet=yes
Private=yes
Bridge=br0
|
以上就是比较完整的容器创建和使用过程啦~
CentOS 稍微复杂一点，因为他没有直接提供最小的 rootfs，我们要自己从 ISO 中解压安装，整个过程如下：
