      Previously, Red Hat build of MicroShift could fail to start on a host without a hostname installed. With this release, the hostname package is pulled as a dependency during installation. This change means that the hostname is now required when building the MicroShift system, preventing this type of startup failure.

      Description of problem:

      I was installing microshift on fresh system where there is no hostname installed, microshift installation completed without any error but when I run the service it failed with following

      Mar 26 07:47:14 127.0.0.1.nip.io microshift[331]: ??? I0326 07:47:14.944652     331 run.go:65] "Version" microshift="4.19.0_0.nightly_2025_03_21_030708_20250325165336_e3d41974b_dirty" base="4.19.0-0.nightly-2025-03-21-030708"
Mar 26 07:47:14 127.0.0.1.nip.io microshift[331]: ??? E0326 07:47:14.945113     331 run.go:72] "command failed" err="failed to fill config's defaults: failed to get all hostnames: error when executing 'hostname -A': fork/exec /bin/hostname: no such file or directory"

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

          built from main branch

      How reproducible:

          If you have hostname installed the uninstall it and try to run the microshift service which will fail. hostname should be part of Require section.

      Actual results:

          Failed to start the service

      Expected results:

          Should able to start service
