Introduction
When creating a new Fedora CoreOS (FCOS) instance, you can set the server hostname in the Ignition file. If you decide to rename a running server, you'll need to update the name from the command line.
Examples
This guide uses olddog for the old hostname and newtricks for the new hostname.
1. Become Root
Connect to your FCOS instance and change to the root user.
$ sudo su - root
2. Check the Current Hostname
Check the hostname with hostname
.
# hostname
olddog
You can also use hostnamectl
.
# hostnamectl
Static hostname: olddog
Icon name: computer-vm
Chassis: vm
Machine ID: 257f49f8befd44caade69b87d7b39b22
Boot ID: 5e111bff48644734988905c7cad7161b
Virtualization: kvm
Operating System: Fedora CoreOS 32.20200731.dev.0
CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:32
Kernel: Linux 5.7.8-200.fc32.x86_64
Architecture: x86-64
3. Change Hostname
Change the hostname to newtricks.
# hostnamectl set-hostname newtricks
4. Confirm the Change
Reboot the server.
# reboot
Test your change with hostnamectl
and hostname
.
$ hostnamectl
Static hostname: newtricks
Icon name: computer-vm
Chassis: vm
Machine ID: 00c6efc1008d46aabeed06a3b8a459ec

Virtualization: kvm
Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-26-generic

$ hostname
newtricks
Update DNS
Your server hostname is changed and ready to use. This procedure does not change your DNS name, and you'll need to perform those steps at your domain registrar.
