Set hostname on image?

Set hostname on image?

Hi!

This is probably a very stupid question, but I don't understand how to set the hostname of the system that I'm building (I'm building a 'core-image-minimal'), unless I

A) write a /etc/hostname file to the image, or
B) write a script that updates the hostname during startup

The installed (/etc/hostname) file is created & installed in the base-files recipe, but I don't understand how to set/use the hostname-variable in that recipe so that it becomes what I want it to be (unless I start editing that recipe ....).

Is there a way to modify the hostname from my 'local.conf' file?

Best regards, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Jonas

You will not be able to override it in local.conf because the 'hostname'
variable in the recipe is not weakly assigned. But you should be able to
override it in a base-files.bbappend.

The hostname.sh script in recipes-core/initscripts will be later 
modified to regard the kernel command line parameters. You can then 
specify your hostname in kernel command line when booting.
