Support

Dear experts,

What is the best way to easily add some entries into the /etc/hosts for new provisioning machines?

do it through kickstart template or there is a way that we can add those through Foreman UI host parameters?

Thanks.

Looks like they have a snippet for this, although, I have not tested it myself.

<%#

name: fix_hosts
model: ProvisioningTemplate

echo "<%= @host.shortname %>" > /etc/hostname
<% if @host.operatingsystem.family == 'Redhat' && @host.operatingsystem.major.to_i == 6 %>
hostname <%= @host %>
<% else %>
hostname <%= @host.shortname %>
<% end %>
cat > /etc/hosts << EOF
