Distrobox as a whole wasn’t working when there’s no /etc/hostname for some people (including me for some reason)

/etc/hostname/etc/hostname is mounted in distrobox-createdistrobox-create here: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/3b9f0e8d3d8bd102e1636a22afffafe00777d30b/distrobox-create#L908

it seems strange that we have a distro without /etc/hostname/etc/hostname given that it's going to be used by glibcglibc's gethostname()gethostname()

I could be completely behind on this, but a preliminary search hasn't turned up anything so I figured I'd ask --- are there any plans for an Asahi universal blue image? idk if the github ARM runners are out

M2•4/29/25, 2:12 PM

if you use with a custom hostname --hostname foo--hostname foo then the mount is skipped, which means even if /etc/hostname/etc/hostname is missing, that won't bother the container

Not user-friendly how?

[[xenofembutch]]•4/29/25, 2:23 PM

If all it takes is some extensive amount of setup, then I'm willing to go with it. But if it's unstable or broken in some way, then of course I'll just go with regular asahi

Additionally, while I like the digests right now.... Timothee's builds get garbage collected since he doesn't increment the version on a mid day rebuild.

Yeah. This has been raised, and there's a plan to resolve it.
Renovate picks up on new digests anyway, so builds won't be broken for long

Yeah. It's not too bad. Just need to know what's happening.

And it's not an actual issue most of the time

better than setting the selinux context, since everything works from shell just fine
