Subject: [PATCH proxmox 2/7] systemd: add support for machine-id generation
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 13:58:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260415115817.348947-3-l.wagner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260415115817.348947-1-l.wagner@proxmox.com>
From: Fabian Grünbichler <f.gruenbichler@proxmox.com>
the plain machine-id should not be leaked to external systems, but libsystemd
provides helpers for deriving application-id based identifiers that are useful
for identifying a machine externally.
