#49902 Failure to get hostname in cockpit
Closed: wontfix by spichugi. Opened by vashirov.

Closed: wontfix
Reopen Issue

Issue Description

Cockpit 389-ds plugin implicitly depends on hostname command: 

js/servers.js
1281:      cockpit.spawn(["hostname", "--fqdn"], { superuser: true, "err": "message" }).fail(function(ex) {

which might be missing in minimal installation environments (such as containers).

Package Version and Platform

master

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install cockpit-389-ds on a system without hostname package
  2. Try to create an instance

Actual results

Window appears with the title "Failed to get hostname!" and message "not-found"

Expected results

Either hostname should be a dependency or we should use hostnamectl status --static to get the hostname. hostnamectl is part of systemd and is available in minimal install.
