Renaming a droplet

Posted on April 7, 2014

Hi Folks,

When asked to give the droplet a name, the docs told me a droplet could be renamed later at any time. So now I want to do that I can’t find how to. Would somebody please tell me?

Make sure you also edit your droplet’s hostname internally as well. Update <code>/etc/hostname</code> and <code>/etc/hosts</code> and reboot.
