Creating Dynamic hostname

[Abhishek Verma]

Hi All,

I am trying to setup a Vagrant machine with dynamic hostname.

I can setup hostname using "config.vm.hostname = "DummyReefServer"" in VagrantFile and it works fine.
But I wish to make this hostname dynamic , if possibile based on macaddress so everytime its unique..

Is it possible to setup hostname dunamic possibly something like this

config.vm.hostname = "DummyReefServer"+ethernet0.address

Thanks in Advance

Regards,
Abhishek

Hello

Not sure about mac, but you can use:

SecureRandom.random_number(99999)

Adjust the number of digits.

Hi Alvaro,
Thanks for your reply. I can now create a unique mac address using
config.vm.hostname = "dummy-ngs-#{SecureRandom.random_number(9999)}"

but every time I reboot my machine , hostname gets reset.
i want to create unique hostname for machine when I create it, till i destroy it.

Any suggestions?

Maybe you could write the value to a file on the host, somewhere in
the vagrant directory (only if the file doesn't exist already), then
read it in from the file. I do a lot of this kind of thing to create
idempotent provisioners.

Hey Guys , 

Thanks alot for your help.

Finally I found many ways to do the same thing. 

1. As Alvaro suggested, write to a temp file, 

2. or use Script inside VagrantFile to write to temp file

3. Create a script inside vagrant machine which runs on bootup , and repackage vagrant machine 

4. use provisioning and create a shell script next to VagrantFile which runs on bootup and configures the machine.

I went with number 4. (because i had to use macaddress not random numbers).

Although I wanted to set it up inside VagrantFile so machine has hostname before bootup, but I couldnt find out way to get macaddress and create a hostname string in VagrantFile. (New to Vagrant and dont know Ruby.)

But never mind, i got what I want .

Thanks to you all again.

Regards,

Abhishek
