Am I missing something or should hostnamectl not have a --user mode similar to systemctl? (It doesn’t currently.)

@aral wouldn't anything controlled by hostnamectl be system-wide so a --user mod wouldn't be needed/desired?
I could be wrong, but that's how I see it

@paul I’m thinking for inside a container that has its own /etc/hostname…

@aral I believe the container would still need to be initialized with a hostname as /etc/hostname would be ephemeral and ultimately not an ideal way to configure a hostname for a container

@paul Indeed. Thankfully I only need to read it, not set it. My intuition was that hostnamectl would support that.
