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 and /etc/hostname files.
NOTE: this cookbook works well with DnsMadeEasy cookbook, that can automatically register the new hostname with DnsMadeEasy.com.
Attributes
You can set the following attributes:
node.normal['set-hostname']['domain'] = 'bar.com'
The following attributes are inferred automaticaly, but can also be overridden by the user:
default['set-hostname']['hosts-file'] = '/etc/hosts' default['set-hostname']['name'] = node.name default['set-hostname']['ip'] = node['ipaddress']
For a node with the name foo001, the above configuration 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'] unless provided specifically by the node['set-hostname']['ip] attribute.
If you do not provide the domain name, the host is configured without the FQDN.
Automatic Reboot
If the hostname was changed, the cookbook will trigger a delayed reboot, but only if this attribute is set to true:
default['set-hostname']['allow-reboot-if-changed'] = true
The default is false.
