rando hostname w/macvlan about docker-timemachine HOT 3 CLOSED

Sure, see https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/#domainname-hostname-ipc-mac_address-privileged-read_only-shm_size-stdin_open-tty-user-working_dir. You need to tell Docker what hostname you want it to set.

Yep, that will do it. Thanks, Matt!

For future reference, fellow users: if you follow Matt's instructions in creating a macvlan, you may want to add "hostname: _________" to the TimeMachine service in docker-compose, so that the name that appears on your network is something recognizable and not a random, 16 character hexadecimal string. Standard DNS rules apply for naming and thus Mac users, you cannot put a space in the hostname ("foo bar" will come through as foobar). Dashes work. Enjoy.

Thanks for clarifying! When not using docker-compose you can add --hostname Timemachine to the docker run command.

docker run -d --restart=always \
  --name timemachine \
  --network mynet \
  --ip 192.168.0.200 \
  --hostname Timemachine \
  -e CUSTOM_SMB_CONF="false" \
  -e CUSTOM_USER="false" \
etc

where mynet is my macvlan network
