hostname Generator
The unique identifier generator for RPi
TESTE ET FONCTIONNEL SUR Raspberry Pi / Raspbian ONLY !
Install
sudo npm install -g hostnamegen
How does it work ?
On RPi, a unique identifier depending ONLY from the CPU can be found into /proc/cpuinfos : Serial line (exple : 000000003f14bce2 )
This unique identifier is not dependent from the OS or the SD card so you can cahnge and use any and still have the same identifier.
Once this serial UID extracted, it is converted from base16 (Hex) to Base32 from Douglas Crockford to be more human friendly.
Change /etc/hostname & /etc/hosts files.
