Selectable ROS_HOSTNAME?
See original GitHub issueROS_HOSTNAME is set automatically when service starts. This can cause communication issue between clients when they can’t resolve the robot’s pc with the value in ROS_HOSTNAME.
Does it make sense to add an option to not explicitly set ROS_HOSTNAME (implying I might open a PR)?
Environment variables regarding ROS networking are tricky to me (IMO they are for many users…) so I might be wrong though.

I’ve been running into an issue where I needed the
ROS_HOSTNAMEto be theHOSTNAMEappended with.localsuffix. So adding the option to specify theROS_HOSTNAMEseemed like a good solution.I ran into exactly the same issue as @magnus-rovco, so for now I hacked this together using some local changes, if this is the direction the maintainers want to go in I can clean the code up and open a PR.
