Hostname Setting

Lakka uses Avahi to publish its hostname on its local network. By default, a system running Lakka is accessible as lakka.local within your local network without explicitly knowing its IP address. (It is also accessible as simply lakka via Samba.)

ssh root@lakka.local

However, if you have multiple machines running Lakka, setting a unique hostname for each will avoid name collisions.

Regular way

Using the command line interface:

echo "picard" > /storage/.cache/hostname

Upon rebooting, the system will be accessible as picard.local within your local network. (The Samba name will be simply picard.)

ssh root@picard.local
