HOSTNAME is not set on f33 image

[A6GibKm]

OS

Fedora Silverblue 33
toolbox 0.0.95

Issue

The enviromental variable HOSTNAME is not being set on toolbox, echo $HOSTNAME returns only a new line. This does not correspond to the behaviour in previous images.

Hi @A6GibKm! I quickly tried to reproduce this but could not.

My steps were:

• toolbox create (I run Fedora Silverblue 33 -> the f33/fedora-toolbox image was used)
• toolbox enter
• echo $HOSTNAME

The output of the last command was toolbox as currently expected. Is there something specific to your use-case I missed? What shell do you run?

Not that I know of, I removed my .bashrc for testing purposes and enter a newly created toolbox and the issue persists. Also,

I don't see it here on my workstation, but I do see the missing $HOSTNAME in my test VM, even after a podman system reset.

$ podman images
REPOSITORY                                     TAG     IMAGE ID      CREATED      SIZE

The VM is completely vanilla (except for overlaying gitk for testing other toolbox/podman related issues), upgraded to the latest F33 beta Silverblue compose.

I also upgraded my second machine to f33, did a podman system reset and still the variable HOSTNAME is not set.

I have exact the same issue. Rebased to f33, remove all toolboxes, create new one (f33) but echo $HOSTNAME outputs nothing.

[A6GibKm]

at least it is easy to patch via

# ~/.bashrc
if [ -f /README.md ]; then
    export HOSTNAME=toolbox
fi

What is more hostid on f33 is 00000000 on f32 I have same numer as on host (a8c0a300). This issue is quite annoying while using mc (midnight commander).
