Possibility to set the hostname equal to containername by default

[mamema]

per default, a container is created with an ID as hostname.

It can be changed in the network config.

Would be nice if there is a (default) switch, to set the network name the same as the container_name, instead to enter the same name twice, once for container and twice for hostname

Hey, thanks for bringing this up for us to consider.

I agree, it would be nice - tho that would not be how it works when you docker run --name test debian (and docker service create --name test debian hostname) - so at minimum, some investigation of Docker's reasons is warranted (I recal something about DNS problems, but its also likely this was left like this to be compatible with the original releases for Docker)

as written implementing a switch would ease configuration. So people like you can leave it off and people like me can switch it on (and save as new default). I've manually changed the Non-host network based containers, about 60, without a compatibility or other problems.
