Add a workaround for dracut that use FQDN for hostname
Descriptive title for this enhancement
Hello,
Dracut use the FQDN as hostname but it break FAI installation. The workaround that I do is to pass HOSTNAME=machine-name to my PXE line
Example:
append initrd=initrd.img-install root=x.x.x.x:/srv/fai/nfsroot ip=dhcp rootovl HOSTNAME=%cn%Actual behavior
We generate the PXE linux without HOSTNAME=%cn%
Expected behavior
Add HOSTNAME=%cn% to the PXE command line when we tick the option "Dracut hostname fix" in fusiondirectory service argonaut-fuse fai configuration
Step by step description of new behaviour
- Go to service argonaut-fuse service fai configuration
- Tick "dracut hostname fix"
- Argonaut fuse will generate the PXE command line with HOSTNAME=%cn% if "dracut hostname fix" is ticked

#5845 (closed) https://gitlab.fusiondirectory.org/argonaut/argonaut/issues/5735
Benefits
Permit to use FAI classes from FD and dracut to make install in FAI 5
Activity
changed milestone to %FusionDirectory 1.3
If I understood correctly the idea is to add the option HOSTNAME= followed by the cn of the requesting host from the LDAP.
Is it really necessary to add a config option for this? In which cases this option should not be set? (when using fai5 I mean, as we already have a switch for FAI version)
hello @MCMic,
yes its really need because of a fuckup in dracut by redhat :/ so if fai5 is selected we should have this fix in the cmd_line, maybe add a checkbox and active it automatically when fai5 is selected.
it could also be usefull in fai4 but not by default
Cheers
