Use the variable {hostname} in the URL of /boot/firmware/fullpageos.txt to make use of the Raspi's hostname in the URL. This works similar to the {serial} variable.

Hey, what is the use case for this?
Why not use localhost?

Also, might need to rebase or fix the firmware path to /boot/firmware.

The idea is to prepare a directory structure on the web server, that is based on the hostname of the Raspi. Each Raspi gets the same entry in the /boot/firmware/fullpageos.txt file, like

https://server.example.net/images-for/{hostname}/

This approach allows for easy provisioning and scaling.

Ok got it, will approve just fix the path it should be boot/firmware/fullpageos not with the firmware removed like you posted.

Would love to see this merged and be able to take advantage of {hostname} as well.

Ok, its parking because there is a small change that is still needed, the path it should be boot/firmware/fullpageos
