Docker HOSTNAME

[crkinard]

Is there any way via the GUI to set the applications hostname?

I have tried changing it 700 ways AFTER it is made but nothing works. So I figure it has to be set on creation.

Container names are immutable after creation. If you want to change it, destroy and recreate the container with the new name, keeping the old settings.

Is there any way to do this through the web interface or is the only way CLI with the -h option?

TO be clear:
Containers do not have a hostname with the official apps, only an internal hostname which is randomised. and a servicehostname which is based on the name you give the App. However: Both are only for internal K8S use.

Containers are not directly available on either seperate IP's or seperate hostnames from the outside.

I've no idea what you're talking about because only k8s is officially supported and normal docker is not, -h option is not a thing within k8s.

Ahh ok soo... Is there any way to specify the MAC address on creation?
Seems to be completely random.

What are you using?
THe big blue button with the option do directly give ip's to containers?
Thats mostly a dirty hack ix made to please people and shouldn't actually be used in any sane scenario. Don't expect many features to be added for it either.
