|
<para><command>hostnamectl</command> may be used to
|
|
query and change the system hostname and related
|
|
settings.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This tool distinguishes three different
|
|
hostnames: the high-level "pretty" hostname which
|
|
might include all kinds of special characters
|
|
(e.g. "Lennart's Laptop"), the static hostname which
|
|
is used to initialize the kernel hostname at boot
|
|
(e.g. "lennarts-laptop"), and the transient hostname
|
|
which is a default received from network configuration.
|
|
If a static hostname is set, and is valid (something other
|
|
than localhost), then the transient hostname is not used.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that the pretty hostname has little
|
|
restrictions on the characters used, while the static
|
|
and transient hostnames are limited to the usually
|
|
accepted characters of Internet domain names.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The static hostname is stored in
|
|
<filename>/etc/hostname</filename>, see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>hostname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for more information. The pretty hostname, chassis
|
|
type, and icon name are stored in
|
|
<filename>/etc/machine-info</filename>, see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-info</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

|
|
|
<para>Use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
to initialize the system host name for mounted (but
|
|
not booted) system images.</para>

<listitem><para>Set the system

hostname to

default, this will alter the pretty,

being set, and static or transient are

hostname will be simplified in regards

to the character set used before the

latter are updated. This is done by

replacing spaces with

<literal>-</literal> and removing

special characters. This ensures that

the pretty and the static hostname are

|
always closely related while still

following the validity rules of the

specific name. This simplification of

the hostname string is not done if

only the transient and/or static host

names are set, and the pretty host

name is left untouched.</para>

<literal>embedded</literal> as well as

the special chassis types

<literal>vm</literal> and

virtualized systems that lack an
