In this video we use KVM/QEMU installed on the Ubuntu 18.04 host set set guest IP and Hostnames via DHCP. We can use the virsh command to edit the network configuration on the QEMU/KVM host to reserve IP address and hostname for the gust MAC address. For the hostname to work the guest must have the hostname statically set to localhost. This would be worthwhile setting in your master image.
