""" Update Etc Hosts ---------------- **Summary:** update the hosts file (usually ``/etc/hosts``) This module will update the contents of the local hosts database (hosts file; usually ``/etc/hosts``) based on the hostname/fqdn specified in config. Management of the hosts file is controlled using ``manage_etc_hosts``. If this is set to false, cloud-init will not manage the hosts file at all. This is the default behavior. If set to ``true`` or ``template``, cloud-init will generate the hosts file using the template located in ``/etc/cloud/templates/hosts.tmpl``. In the ``/etc/cloud/templates/hosts.tmpl`` template, the strings ``$hostname`` and ``$fqdn`` will be replaced with the hostname and fqdn respectively. If ``manage_etc_hosts`` is set to ``localhost``, then cloud-init will not rewrite the hosts file entirely, but rather will ensure that a entry for the fqdn with a distribution dependent ip is present (i.e. ``ping `` will ping ``127.0.0.1`` or ``127.0.1.1`` or other ip). .. note:: if ``manage_etc_hosts`` is set ``true`` or ``template``, the contents of the hosts file will be updated every boot. To make any changes to the hosts file persistent they must be made in ``/etc/cloud/templates/hosts.tmpl`` .. note:: for instructions on specifying hostname and fqdn, see documentation for ``cc_set_hostname`` **Internal name:** ``cc_update_etc_hosts`` **Module frequency:** always **Supported distros:** all **Config keys**:: manage_etc_hosts: fqdn: hostname: """ from cloudinit import templater from cloudinit import util from cloudinit.settings import PER_ALWAYS frequency = PER_ALWAYS def handle(name, cfg, cloud, log, _args): manage_hosts = util.get_cfg_option_str(cfg, "manage_etc_hosts", False) hosts_fn = cloud.distro.hosts_fn if util.translate_bool(manage_hosts, addons=['template']): (hostname, fqdn) = util.get_hostname_fqdn(cfg, cloud) if not hostname: log.warning(("Option 'manage_etc_hosts' was set," " but no hostname was found")) return # Render from a template file tpl_fn_name = cloud.get_template_filename("hosts.%s" % (cloud.distro.osfamily)) if not tpl_fn_name: raise RuntimeError(("No hosts template could be" " found for distro %s") % (cloud.distro.osfamily)) templater.render_to_file(tpl_fn_name, hosts_fn, {'hostname': hostname, 'fqdn': fqdn}) elif manage_hosts == "localhost": (hostname, fqdn) = util.get_hostname_fqdn(cfg, cloud) if not hostname: log.warning(("Option 'manage_etc_hosts' was set," " but no hostname was found")) return log.debug("Managing localhost in %s", hosts_fn) cloud.distro.update_etc_hosts(hostname, fqdn) else: log.debug(("Configuration option 'manage_etc_hosts' is not set," " not managing %s in module %s"), hosts_fn, name) # vi: ts=4 expandtab
