I just discovered avahi which lets you create domain names for the machines on your local network, like http://my-laptop.local, etc. And because NixOS is so awesome you just add a one-liner to to your config to enable it:
```
services.avahi = { enable = true; nssmdns4 = true; };
```(defaults to using the machine's hostname as domain name)

Estoy tan habituado ya a ignorar el sistema operativo que me olvido que tengo #Archlinux y su filosofía minimalista.
Quería conectar, desde el móvil, a mi PC de sobremesa con el nombre; sin poner la IP. Y resulta que tengo que instalar una dependencia opcional de #Avahi (nss-mdns) y activar el servicio avahi-daemon para tener la resolución de nombres en la red local; el "hostname.local".

Wenn man u.a. Geräte wie #Chromecast im Netz hat, dann merkt man schnell das diese viel...sehr viel per Multicast reden. Die einen blocken es und ich fange sie auf mit dem #mDNS Dienst. Auch bekannt als #ZeroConf, #Avahi oder #bonjour

Uh, Nice,
#Traefik läuft nun im #homelab auf dem #raspberrypi und so ganz nebenbei werden die Hostnamen via #mnds #avahi #zeroconf im local net verteilt. Dank #docker labels. Genauer gesagt: die traefik host regeln werden dafür wiederverwendet ...
(english:
#traefik is running my #homelab on the #raspberrypi and just as a side effect the hostnames are distributed via #mdns #avahi #zeroconf in my local domain. Thanks to #docker labels. Actually, the traefik host rules are re-used for this ...) -
Following somebody submitting a PR to update I've spent an hour updating my Docker/Traefik/Avahi helper and pushing new Docker conatiners.

My #fosdem talk in #dns room got accepted! Great news for me, although I have a lot to do to present the potential I have already in my head. But not yet in the code! I want to work also on #avahi release. Well, I should relax and refresh at the same time. Combination of all that would not be a simple task. Merry Christmas everyone!

We at OpenPrinting are aware of the problem and the bug is actually in CUPS and not in GNOME/GTK.
See
https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/issues/176
I have originally reported this one. See the answers of CUPS author Michael Sweet. He has developed primarily under Mac OS (BSD-based) which uses mdnsresponder (Not Avahi as in Linux) where the problem does not occur, seems in CUPS' Avahi support.
Set as milestone for first CUPS 2.5.x release.

So with the help of #chatgpt I managed to fix the issue with #Airprint and #DebianTrixie. The problem is not #Avahi - it's #CUPS frontend.
When you set up a printer over http://localhost:631 and check "Share this printer" - it won't actually reflect in /etc/cups/printers.conf
So check that file and make sure you see "Shared Yes" there.
If it still won't work - here are more steps I took to fix it:

#avahi has one important limitation on multicast resolution. It expects host has only one important address on AF. At least that is offered by simple protocol used by nss-mdns. It cannot send multiple addresses on single name. That is often wrong. Is there potential contributor able to design fix for that? #mdns

complaint: #Avahi #mDNS has a tendency to completely implode and go AWOL for very long periods of time due to certain types of network disruptions, and it's a giant pain in the ass and a huge disincentive to relying on it
I really need to get my next generation network arch figured out, including internal name resolution, but it's a quicksand topic for my brain for some reason

@ds These entries are definitely from #Avahi. Thanks for the tip! When I stop the Avahi daemon they disappear.
It's still strange that this is the first semester where this is happening. Guess I'll have to investigate further, e. g. if the IT service at university has disabled separation of network devices.

I've got a network speaker (a Denon Home 150) that speaks "AirPlay Remote", "AirTunes Remote", "Tidal Connect", "Spotify Connect", "HEOS Audio", and "Qobuz Connect" according to Avahi.
How can I play music on this from Linux?
My music player (Strawberry) doesn't list it or any of those protocols, and I can't set it as an audio device (which is probably a good thing).

is this libnss-mdns misconfiguration or something else? #ubuntu #mdns #avahi #nss https://askubuntu.com/q/1518679/10334?sfe=2

Good News! #Avahi development seems to be alive again! @pemensik from Red Hat has pushed the v0.9rc1 tag for the upcoming 0.9 release!
For us at #OpenPrinting a well-maintained Avahi is essentially important.

https://blog.hardill.me.uk/2020/09/22/nginx-proxy-avahi-helper/
I’ve been playing with the jwilder/nginx-proxy docker container recently. It automatically generates reverse proxy entries for other containers.
It does this by monitoring when new containers are started and then inspecting the environment variables attached to the new container. If the container has the VIRTUAL_HOST variable is uses it’s value as the virtual host for nginx to proxy access to […]
