Display current system hostname with short or full domain format.

 macbook-pro     # Short format (default)
 server.local    # Short format with local domain
 server.example.com  # Full format

# Enable plugin
set -g @powerkit_plugins "hostname"

# Enable plugin
set -g @powerkit_plugins "hostname"

# Hostname format: short or full
set -g @powerkit_plugin_hostname_format "short"

# Icon
set -g @powerkit_plugin_hostname_icon "󰒋"

Displays only the hostname without domain:

set -g @powerkit_plugin_hostname_format "short"

Examples:

• macbook-pro
• server
• workstation

Displays fully qualified domain name (FQDN):

set -g @powerkit_plugin_hostname_format "full"

Examples:

• macbook-pro.local
• server.example.com
• workstation.internal.company.com

set -g @powerkit_plugins "hostname"

set -g @powerkit_plugins "hostname"
set -g @powerkit_plugin_hostname_format "full"

set -g @powerkit_plugins "hostname"
set -g @powerkit_plugin_hostname_icon "💻"

# Show hostname with SSH indicator
set -g @powerkit_plugins "ssh,hostname"

# Hostname will show 'remote' context when in SSH

Show hostname to identify which machine you're working on:

set -g @powerkit_plugins "hostname,datetime"

Display full hostname to distinguish between servers:

set -g @powerkit_plugins "hostname"
set -g @powerkit_plugin_hostname_format "full"

Hostname automatically detects SSH context. Combine with SSH plugin for complete info:

set -g @powerkit_plugins "ssh,hostname"

Output: user@remote server.example.com

1. Verify hostname is set:

   hostname        # Short format
   hostname -f     # Full format (FQDN)

2. Set hostname if missing:

   # Temporary
   sudo hostname my-machine
   
   # Permanent (varies by distro)
   # Debian/Ubuntu
   sudo hostnamectl set-hostname my-machine
   
   # macOS
   sudo scutil --set HostName my-machine
   sudo scutil --set ComputerName my-machine
   sudo scutil --set LocalHostName my-machine

• Your system may not have a fully qualified domain name configured
• This is normal for most desktop/laptop machines
• Servers typically have FQDN configured via DNS

The plugin detects SSH sessions via environment variables:

• SSH_CONNECTION
• SSH_CLIENT
• SSH_TTY

If context is wrong, check these variables:

echo $SSH_CONNECTION
echo $SSH_CLIENT

• Hostname is cached for 1 hour by default (rarely changes)
• Very lightweight - no external dependencies
• No network calls required

• PluginSsh - SSH session indicator
• PluginDatetime - Date and time display
• PluginUptime - System uptime
