description |
I recently disabled ipv6 on my computer and used deja-dup for the first time.
Today I re-enabled ipv6 and was surprised to be told that my current backup was for the machine localhost6.localdomain6
This is wrong. My machine is called mybox, and this is the output returned by the hostname command.
$ cat /etc/hosts
192.168.1.5 mybox # Added by NetworkManager
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 mybox localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 |
Duplicity determines the machine's hostname in order to warn the user about unexpectedly backing up to the same location from two machines.
However, it does this using socket.getfqdn(). It seems many users expect the value of socket.gethostname() instead.
Now, I don't fully understand exactly the difference between the two calls, so I'm not necessarily advocating for this change. But gethostname() seems to be what most home users at least expect. Is the situation different for server users?
If we made this change, we'd have to be careful to gracfully accept previous uses of getfqdn() that we wrote to manifests. I'd be willing to whip up a patch, Ken, if you think this is a sensible change.
Examples:
=========
(This original report)
Duplicity gives: localhost6.localdomain6
$ cat /etc/hostname
mybox
$ cat /etc/hosts
192.168.1.5 mybox # Added by NetworkManager
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 mybox localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
=========
(Bug 1086068)
Duplicity gives: localhost
$ cat /etc/hostname
computername
$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost computername
