|
<para>The <filename>/etc/machine-info</filename> file
|
|
contains machine metadata.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The basic file format of
|
|
<filename>machine-info</filename> is a
|
|
newline-separated list of environment-like
|
|
shell-compatible variable assignments. It is possible
|
|
to source the configuration from shell scripts,
|
|
however, beyond mere variable assignments no shell
|
|
features are supported, allowing applications to read
|
|
the file without implementing a shell compatible
|
|
execution engine.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>/etc/machine-info</filename> contains
|
|
metadata about the machine that is set by the user or
|
|
administrator.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Depending on the operating system other
|
|
configuration files might be checked for machine
|
|
information as well, however only as fallback.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You may use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>hostnamectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
to change the settings of this file from the command
|
|
line.</para>

<listitem><para>A pretty

|
human-readable UTF-8 machine identifier
|
|
string. This should contain a name
|
|
like <literal>Lennart's
|
|
Laptop</literal> which is useful to
|
|
present to the user and does not
|
|
suffer by the syntax limitations of
|
|
internet domain names. If possible, the
|
|
internet hostname as configured in
|
|
<filename>/etc/hostname</filename>
|
|
should be kept similar to this
|
|
one. Example: if this value is
|
|
<literal>Lennart's Computer</literal>
|
|
an Internet hostname of
|
|
<literal>lennarts-computer</literal>
|
|
might be a good choice. If this
|
|
parameter is not set, an application
|

should fall back to the Internet host

name for presentation

purposes.</para></listitem>

the special chassis types

<literal>vm</literal> and

<literal>container</literal> for

virtualized systems that lack an

immediate physical chassis. Note that

many systems allow detection of the

|
chassis type automatically (based on
|
|
firmware information or
|
|
suchlike). This setting (if set) shall
|
|
take precedence over automatically
|
|
detected information and is useful to

override misdetected configuration or

to manually configure the chassis type

where automatic detection is not

available.</para></listitem>
