VM's names #40

Closed micharbet closed 6 years ago

micharbet commented 6 years ago

Virtual machine gets following hostnames: fastvm-DISTRO-V1-V2-VMNumber In my opinion it would be a little bit more practical if it was: fastvm-VMNumber-DISTRO-V1-V2

Not a big deal anyway :)

Hi @micharbet , As we have discussed yesterday offline, the hostnames for VMs are changed by hack files from https://github.com/OndrejHome/fast-vm-public-images repository. Most (if not all) of them uses following as the formula for constructing the hostname. If you would like to just change the hostname of VM please have a look on below code and let me know if that would do the trick or if you would like to see also some other change.

Hi @micharbet, please let me know if you have any further questions to this Issue. If I don't hear from you within 2 weeks I will close it as I believe that this should be addressed in the 'fast-vm-public-images' repository as part of the 'hack files'. fast-vm itself only defines the VM names seen in the libvirt outputs (like virsh list). If the libvirt/virsh name is a concern please let me know.

Closing this as mentioned in my previous comment. Feel free to re-open if that makes sense.
