CloudLinux returns blank values

[NebularNerd]

My potato powered GoDaddy server running CloudLinux 8does not return any sensible information, using uname -a I get:

Linux node_name_redacted 4.18.0-513.18.1.lve.2.el8.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Mar 30 15:36:11 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

But using distro I get:

Name:
Version:
Codename:

Equally calling inside python as a module produces the same results.

Is this a CloudLinux 8 issue, a distro issue, or would running it inside a python venv be the issue?

Hello, this looks related to #240.

I searched for CloudLinux and could not find that, maybe I mistyped. I tried hostnamectl but the comes back as:
-bash: hostnamectl: command not found

GoDaddy do lock these servers right down, I imagine it's something they've down by the looks of it.

No worries, I'm closing here as "duplicate", and invite you to pursue the discussion in #240.
FYI, we are in the (stale) process of finding a way to retrieve this specific piece of information without adding another subprocess call (to hostnamectl).
Moreover, if it's unavailable in your environment (it's one of systemd binaries), I guess it's even important we find another workaround to this issue (and if you're OK to spend some time with us on the matter, we'll take it 🙂).

Thanks, see you on #240 !
