Hi,

I want to change the ip address of the CentOS host.
Where can I change the ip address of the host in the Control Center

Achim

Control Center uses DNS instead of IP addresses. Change hte IP address on the host, and follow the instructions in the install guide for editing /etc/hosts (and dns)

Hi Andrew,

what I have done:
1. Change the ip-address of the CentOS host.
2. Change the DNS values for this host.
3. Change the values in the local hosts file.
After all the host in the Control Center has still the same ip-address.
4. Add the same host again to the Control Center.
The host has the same hostname, but the new ip-address.
Unfortunately I can't delete the old one with the wrong ip-address!

regards
Achim

I have same problem....in same boat as Achim....would think there was a docker file that could be edited to fix this...do i have to delete my test app and reccreate the app to get a new ip address, against the new host

Think i fixed it.....

you can re-assign the app to a host after you add a new host with new ip address....then you can delete original host with old ip address....

all good....

yep, you can't delete the host until you move the app :)

I'm in the same situation and not seeing any means to assign an existing app to a different host.

Does "move the app" really mean destroy and recreate it That seems far from ideal.
