Hostname Setting

gouchi edited this page Apr 30, 2017 · 1 revision

Lakka uses Avahi to publish its hostname on its local network. By default, a system running Lakka is accessible as lakka.local within your local network without explicitly knowing its IP address. (It is also accessible as simply lakka via Samba.)

However, if you have multiple machines running Lakka, setting a unique hostname for each will avoid name collisions.

Regular way

Using the command line interface:

echo "picard" > /storage/.cache/hostname

Upon rebooting, the system will be accessible as picard.local within your local network. (The Samba name will be simply picard.)
