Motioneyeos: How to change the network hostname

[fredericcollin]

Hi, I have several Motioneye pi's on my network and have a hard time distinguishing them with their default names such as MEYE-A8AE5E340, etc...How can I rename them to something more intuitive such as 'entrance', 'garage', etc...?
Thanks in advance!

Nothing to do with SSID. It's the hostname. I asked the same question 12m prior - https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/issues/103.

Hi phibes4000, of course you are correct! I do indeed mean 'hostname', thanks.

[ccrisan]

Hostname is not yes changeable. It will be soon, though.

Thank you for your kind reply Crisan, looking forward to it!

I've just committed the changes required to allow setting a custom hostname from the UI. The feature will be available in the next release.

Excellent, thanks!

How do you do this?

[ccrisan]

@ioquatix in Expert Settings you have a Hostname setting.

Based on https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/issues/103#issuecomment-247540487 and my little experience, I think it's:
_Settings Menu -> General Settings > Hostname_

Oh, that's awesome!
