How do I set hostname in docker-compose?

Question

In my docker-compose.yml file, I have the following. However the container does not pick up the hostname value. Any ideas?

dns:
  image: phensle         


        

Answer 1

Based on docker documentation: https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/#/command

I simply put hostname: in my docker-compose file.

E.g.:

[...]

lb01:
  hostname: at-lb01
  image: at-client-base:v1

[...]

and container lb01 picks up at-lb01 as hostname.
