hostnames cookbook

Description

Sets hostname and FQDN of the node. The latest code is hosted at
https://github.com/nathantsoi/chef-cookbook-hostname

Attributes

• node['set_fqdn'] - FQDN to set.

The asterisk character will be replaced with node.name. This way,
you can add this to base role:

default_attributes :set_fqdn => '*.project-domain.com'

and have node set its FQDN and hostname based on its chef node name
(which is provided on chef-client first run's command line).

• node['hostname_cookbook']['use_node_ip'] -- when true
  sets the hostname to node["ipaddress"] in /etc/hosts (default: false)

• node['hostname_cookbook']['hostsfile_ip'] -- IP used in
  /etc/hosts to correctly set FQDN (default: 127.0.1.1)

Recipes

• hostnames::default -- will set node's FQDN to value of set_fqdn attribute,
  and hostname to its host part (up to first dot).

• hostnames::vmware -- sets hostname automatically using vmtoolsd.
  You do not need to set node["set_fqdn"].
