Why did you removed my comment?

Why did you think I removed your comment? I just checked the on-hold comment (by KZbin), but saw none.

@@hz777 well thats strange, I posted a comment . Bug in YT then I supposed. I tried now also again and again. it removes every time. maybe because there is a hyperlink inside the message..

[@hz777]

Thanks for sending me the email. That explains why your comments were removed by KZbin: because of the paths. Url, IP address, and path may cause the comments to be removed by KZbin. Go back to the docker Hostname issue you described. As I know, unifi gateway gets the client's hostname during the DHCP process. For a docker, it may not have its hostname, so your dhclient approach makes sense. This is an interesting topic, so I may make a video about it!

@@CasaTropical I just did some testing, but did not observe similar issues as yours. I created several proxmox containers using debian 12 template. I gave them different hostnames. They were all correctly displayed wit the correct names in UniFi's client list. I also used Wireshark to see the DHCP requrests, and did see correct hostname info in the requests.

@@hz777 thank you for the time and for the response, indeed the containers will get hostnames, its about a docker inside that container . Case: debian 12 template as LXC in Proxmox. Then install docker on that debian, then in that docker place (example) a alpine python or a new debian. You'll will see no hostname in de UDM-P only the MAC. When you install the dhclient, and inside that .conf chage the name "hostname"it does. Again thanks for the great videos and time.
