Can anyone shed light on where the hostname is set/stored in macOS Sierra?

I don’t even try. Thanks to https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/master/.osx, I just use:

#!/bin/sh

# SetComputerNames.command jrc long ago

# set hostname(s) interactively
# inspired by # https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/master/.osx

echo ""
echo "Setting your computer name (as done via System Preferences → Sharing)"
echo "What would you like it to be?"
read COMPUTER_NAME
sudo scutil --set ComputerName $COMPUTER_NAME
sudo scutil --set HostName $COMPUTER_NAME
sudo scutil --set LocalHostName $COMPUTER_NAME
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server NetBIOSName -string $COMPUTER_NAME

echo ""
