You can interpolate the ohai hostname attribute like so: "#{node['hostname']}"

How can I use the $HOSTNAME variable in a recipe?

I need something which would fit here:

remote_file "/tmp/$HOSTNAME.tar.xz" do
   source 
"https://user:
 :port/aaa/$HOSTNAME.tar.xz"
   owner "root"
   group "root"
   mode 00600
   not_if { ::File.exists?("/some/path/here") }
end
