This last one is sort of a hack to bring the network up as it shows up, I suppose systemd-nspawn should do it by itself, this might be a bug, unless there is a good reason not to bring the network up automatically.
Inside the container I do manual setup of the network address since I'm not actually booting it.
Mind you that you may have to do systemctl daemon-reload (not really sure if this one is needed) and restart systemd-networkd for any changes to make effect.
Can I ask you both why you chose this route of creating a private network? As far as I can tell, by default systemd-spawn will allow the container to use the host's interface. I would have thought that would be adequate for most usecases? Paul
