NAME
live-debconfig - hostname component
DESCRIPTION
live-debconfig contains the components that configure a Live system during the build
process (live-build).
This component sets the systems hostname in the /etc/hostname file.
PRESEEDING
The hostname component currently features the following preseeding options.
live-debconfig live-debconfig/hostname/hostname string HOSTNAME
Allows to set the hostname of the system.
If no value is preseeded, a suitable default is being suggested in a debconf
prompt. If no value is entered in the debconf prompt, the default value is being
used. The default value is determined automatically:
1. HOSTNAME is set to the string in the /etc/hostname file, if existing and non-
empty.
2. HOSTNAME is set to the distributor's ID as in the /etc/os-release file, if
existing and non-empty.
3. HOSTNAME is set to the distributor's ID as in the lsb_release(1) program, if
installed and non-empty.
4. HOSTNAME is set to progress-linux if the /etc/progress-linux_version file is
existing.
5. HOSTNAME is set to debian as a fallback.
Warning: the new hostname will be set in the /etc/hostname file, overwriting any
previous content without prior prompt or backup.
