LIVE-DEBCONFIG(5)

NAME
live-debconfig - hostname script

DESCRIPTION
live-debconfig contains the scripts that configure a Live system during the build process (live-build).

This script sets the systems hostname in the /etc/hostname file.

PRESEEDING
The hostname script 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.
