Role Name

Set the hostname using /etc/hosts on Debian-based systems.

Debian-based systems recommend setting a non-FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) hostname. This role takes the first part of the FQDN hostname to use as the hostname.

Requirements

This role only works on Debian-based systems and has been tested on Ubuntu 14.04.

Role Variables

You need to provide:

• fqdn_hostname: The full FQDN hostname.

You can also change this variable:

• short_hostname: The hostname that will be used in /etc/hostname. Default: the first part of fqdn_hostname.

Dependencies

No dependencies.

Example Playbook

- role: matic-insurance.hostname
  fqdn_hostname: '{{ inventory_hostname }}'
  tags: ['hostname']
