+<code>
+debootstrap --include=systemd,dbus,systemd-container,systemd-resolved trixie /var/lib/machines/container_name

+Then either use
+<code>
+systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/machines/container_name
+</code>
+or
+<code>
+machinectl start container_name
+machinectl shell container_name

+systemctl --now enable systemd-networkd
