Today I first heard about systemd-nspawn when andrewstuart mentioned it on HN.

Doesn't look like there has been much mention of nspawn here on LES, but there is a Debian wiki page and an Arch wiki page. There is a man page on FreeDesktop.org.

Quoting from the Arch wiki: "systemd-nspawn may be used to run a command or OS in a light-weight namespace container. . . . systemd-nspawn is a simpler tool to configure than LXC or Libvirt." Hmm, simple configuration sounds pretty good!

There seems to be an nspawn.org website, which talks about a wrapper script for easier install, and there is a Github repo as well.

Might a server with a bunch of nspawn containers create an easily configured Low End Empire? 💰

Does anybody here have experience using nspawn?
