Change hostname – CentOS 7

November 18, 2015
CentOS 7

Changing the hostname on CentOS 7 is pretty straight forward, issue the following at shell and replace HOSTNAME with the hostname you want to set.

hostnamectl set-hostname HOSTNAME

To verify that the new hostname is set issue the following:

hostnamectl

# centos # centos 7 # change hostname # host name # hostname # modify host name # modify hostname # os # set hostname # update hostname
