Hello
I had created an Ubuntu 14.04 x64 droplet. I have a warning message in top of my /etc/hosts file.
# 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.tmpl
# b.) change or remove the value of 'manage_etc_hosts' in
# /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg or cloud-config from user-data
before that in my other droplets when I want to set a sub-domain first I create the ‘a records’ in digital ocean panel then config my web server virtual hosts and then set up my domain details in /etc/hosts file. now I don’t change /etc/hosts but everything is ok and my virtual hosts work successfully.
I try to find manage_etc_hosts option for changing it but I didn’t find it.
let me now if it’s bad problem or no ? if yes how can I fix it ?
tnx a lot.

Those comments can be safely ignored. They are an artifact of how networking is initially set up on the first boot using Cloud-Init. After first boot, you should be able to manage
/etc/hostsas you would normally expect.I added
manage_etc_hosts: falsein/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg…no help.I “solved” (note quotes) this also as @Yeaoh did via
/etc/cloud/templates/hosts.debian.tmpl…that’s not how it’s supposed to be “solved”. …and that’s not what the error message in the same file itself says = =.Please bump this issue. much love
I was able to fix mine by editing /etc/cloud/templates/hosts.debian.tmpl with the host info.
