You'll want to look into gomock and mockgen.  To get started mocking, 
you'll need an interface, so maybe writing a receiver function 
encapsulating os.Hostname(), then consuming that with an interface.

type OsClient struct {}

func (o *OsClient) GetOSHostname() (string, error) { return os.Hostname() }

type HostnameGetter interface { GetOSHostname() (string, error) }

Gomock repo w/ documentation: https://github.com/golang/mock

Nice intros to gomock:
