Set Hostname
This simple cookbook sets the hostname on a given host using the node.name as the default name, and appending any domain, if provided, for the fully qualified domain name of the host.
It also populates the file /etc/hosts file.
Attributes
You can set the following attributes:
node.normal['set-hostname']['name'] = 'foo' node.normal['set-hostname']['domain'] = 'bar.com' node.normal['set-hostname']['ip'] = '1.2.3.4' node.normal['set-hostname']['hosts-file'] = '/etc/hosts'
This will result in the hostname set to foo.bar.com and the IP address in the /etc/hosts file will be 1.2.3.4.
Default Attributes
The cookbook only requires that you set the domain portion of the name.
In that case, the actual hostname portion is inferred from the node.name, and the IP address is taken from node['ipaddress'].
If you do not provide the domain name, the host is configured without the FQDN.
