Bad address $(hostname).local

[cakrit]

Something happened on our image and $(hostname).local no longer works.

The first command is in wsl -d Netdata (fresh install), the second is from a previously installed wsl Ubuntu.

Try with just $(hostname), that is, without the ".local suffix".

This is because the new installation used WSL1 for some reason. We will handle this case outside of the installer.
