Role Name

Set hostname with /etc/hosts on Debian-based systems.

Debian-based distros encourage you to set non-FQDN hostname ([more](More: http://serverfault.com/questions/331936/setting-the-hostname-fqdn-or-short-name)), so this role uses first chunk of FQDN-hostname as hostname.

Requirements

This role works only on Debian-based systems. Tested on Ubuntu 14.04

Role Variables

You need to provide:

• fqdn_hostname: FQDN-hostname

Also you can override:

• short_hostname: hostname used in /etc/hostname. Default: first chunk of fqdn_hostname

Dependencies

No dependencies

Example Playbook

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