Avahi Configuration for Pidora

Project Description

Avahi (zeroconf) enables discovery of computers without DNS or IP numbers. This project involves configuring Avahi for use on the Raspberry Pi, so that other computers can connect to it by name without DNS support. This configuration must then be packaged in such a way that it can be included in the Pidora composes without causing conflicts.

Project Details

Since the Raspberry Pi utlizies the same NIC throughout its two models, I predict that getting avahi to work should only be a matter of customizing the configuration files to fit the hardware on install (unless this is done automatically, like while running a configuration).

My main resource will be the Avahi website and the references that are linked to from that page.

DNS Service Discovery

Multicast DNS

D-Bus

General Info on MDNS
