- <para>
-  For installing a NixOS into a systemd nspawn container the NixOS installation tools are needed.
-  If you run another distribution than NixOS on your host,
-  please follow <xref linkend="sec-installing-from-other-distro"/> steps 1, 2, and 3.

- <para>
-  Create a NixOS configuration file <filename>/var/lib/machines/my-container/etc/nixos/configuration.nix</filename>.
-  It is important that the container root file system is under <filename>/var/lib/machines</filename>.
-  This is the standard location where <command>machinectl</command> will look for containers.
-  If you choose place the root into another location you need to start the container directly with <command>systemd-nspawn</command>.
-  The file needs to have at least following options enabled:
-<programlisting>
-<xref linkend="opt-boot.isContainer"/> = true;
-<xref linkend="opt-boot.loader.initScript.enable"/> = true;
-</programlisting>
-  If your host uses <command>systemd-networkd</command> to configure the network,
-  you can also enable <xref linkend="opt-networking.useNetworkd"/> to use networkd default network configuration for your host and container.

-  Install the container by running following command:

-     --no-channel-copy --no-root-passwd --no-bootloader</screen>
