Ability to rename machines/devices #56

Open varchaar opened 1 month ago

varchaar commented 1 month ago

Hello,

I've been playing with ionscale for a few days and I was wondering if it is possible to rename machines ? My problem is that the android client is always naming the node localhost. Maybe I'm missing something.

Thank you for this great project !

I have the same issue. Sometimes it picks up the correct hostname sometimes not.

You can rename a device directly through the Tailscale client.

Desktop (Linux, macOS, Windows)

You can rename your device using the Tailscale CLI with the following command:

tailscale up --hostname <hostname>

Simply replace <hostname> with your desired device name.

iOS

To rename your device on iOS:

  1. Open the Tailscale app.
  2. Navigate to Settings.
  3. Select Device Name.
  4. Enter the new name and save your changes.

Android

The process on Android is similar:

  1. Open the Tailscale app.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner.
  3. Go to Settings.
  4. Tap on Device Name.
  5. Enter your preferred device name and save it.

I don't see what you're referring to in the android app but I agree with you on desktop. I was specifically mentioning the android client

Agreed, this feature doesn't exist yet on the latest Android beta, and the menu layout described seems logical but doesn't reflect the Android client.

So it seems to be a GPT generated response, haven't they banned those on GH already?
