This tutorial is going to show you how to show hostname on Fedora Server 22. Also we will show you how to set the new hostname for Fedora Server 22. We use hostnamectl command to display hostname on Fedora system.
A. Display your current hostname on Fedora 22
Open Terminal and paste this command
hostnamectl status
It should display something like this
[root@localhost ~]# hostnamectl status

B. Change the hostname
hostnamectl set-hostname –pretty fedora-server
