Summary

If we want to improve on how well drupal vm works on production environments, this would be nice to provision out of the box. Otherwise maybe just some docs?

On Ubuntu 16.04

• vagrant_hostname needs to be set to drupal_domain in the prod.config.yml example. This also fixes issues with mailhog/solr using the wrong hostname in the dashboard
• Add 127.0.0.1 {{ vagrant_hostname }} to /etc/hosts
• Change the contents of /etc/hostname to {{ vagrant_hostname }} (edit: just realized this is usually set to the hostname without the TLD. Why is that?)
• Change the contents of /etc/mailname to {{ vagrant_hostname }}
• Maybe call hostname {{ vagrant_hostname }} so it works without a reboot? service hostname restart did not work.

Sidenote: Amazing how well this worked otherwise! I got wildcard subdomains with https and proxy-only access to dev tools with just making changes in config.yml. Following the docs worked great for linode as well.

Edit: We also fix this on travis to be able to run the tests https://github.com/geerlingguy/drupal-vm/blob/master/.travis.yml#L66

The rabbit hole goes deeper of course, see How to get your server's emails through Gmail's spam filter with Exim and Configure sendmail on CentOS to allow sending of email from localhost, among other articles about SPF, reverse DNS, DKIM, etc.

But we should at least get the basics correct, so I'd be fine configuring the things you list above there.

True... maybe I should rename the issue to Drupal VM on production does not set correct hostname and we just make sure /etc/mailname is updated as well :)

That sounds good to me.
