Official moOde 8 support thread

[Busybox]

I can't seem to set my system's hostname from the Moode GUI. This is in the 32-bit version of 8.1.2, although I think it was present in 8.1.1 also.

My system's hostname had been "moode-1." Somehow in doing various updates the hostname got set to "moode-1-1" in /etc/hostname. When I tried to change it in the system page of the GUI, it showed the correct name of "moode-1", but didn't change the name in /etc/hostname so it came up as "moode-1-1." Just to make sure the new name got loaded I first set it to "moode-1X", then to "moode-1", and Moode claimed it set the new name correctly.

P.S. I saw a previous forum post suggesting that the hostname should be included in a backup. I'm not sure this is a good idea since it could cause DHCP confusion after cloning systems. I have several Moode systems on the same network that I want to keep consistent, but with different hostnames. None of my systems use the default name "moode", so after a backup from one system and restore to another, I always check my DHCP server for a system named "moode" to know which is the new clone.
