Hi there,
I just created my first droplet today. I added an user and give it root privileges. Whenever I “sudo”, I get “unable to resolve host [myhostname]”. Although my command is executed fine, I still want to get rid of this?
Belows are my /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts
knguyen@knguyen:~$ cat /etc/hostname knguyen knguyen@knguyen:~$ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

Hello,
Even I have similar issue, Here is the following if type “cat /etc/hosts” in CLI
127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
127.0.1.1 fevertags_pi
Here fevertags_pi is the host name. When I try to edit this, it says permission denied and I’m not able to add anything
You may add your domain name to your /etc/hosts
like this
knguyen@knguyen:~$ cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 knguyen
