Question
Setting the FQDN in CentOS 7?
Hi,
I struggle with setting the FQDN in CentOS 7. My hostname is MyWebSpace and my domain for example is mywebspace.io. Below is my current configuration:
# Your system has configured 'manage_etc_hosts' as True.
# As a result, if you wish for changes to this file to persist
# then you will need to either
# a.) make changes to the master file in /etc/cloud/templates/hosts.redhat.tmpl
# b.) change or remove the value of 'manage_etc_hosts' in
# /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg or cloud-config from user-data
# The following lines are desirable for IPv4 capable hosts
127.0.0.1 MyWebSpace MyWebSpace
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost4.localdomain4 localhost4
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 MyWebSpace MyWebSpace
::1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
Can someone show me how to set my FQDN correctly? For example I struggle to understand if I can just set mywebspace.io as FQDN or if I need to add a prefix like whatever.mywebspace.io.
Any hints?
