Update device hostname based on Organization name

[João Henrique Albuquerque]

Hi is it possible to customize the hostname default with netjson config?
I would like to add a prefix on the devices hostname separete by a common value. Today I'm using underscore '_' which dosen't allow registration.
After subscribing I would have something like 'OrgName_APMAC'

Ideally I would like to keep the underscore but I understand this could be an issue with the RFC for the hostname.

Cheers

Hi João,

at the moment there's no built-in openwisp feature to automate this.

What you can do is to create a custom OpenWRT image which has a script which automatically sets the hostname based on your requirements.

Take a look here: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/uci-defaults

Hi Federico thanks for the feedback. I'll look into it the uci defaults.

Do you guys intend to support the "_" as part of the hostname?  Can I manually disable this verification on the sever?

Welcome.

I suggest you to use "-" in place of "_", which makes it a valid hostname.
