🌸 NAME 🌸

avahi-bookmarks(1) — okay bestie, this is the web service that shows mDNS/DNS-SD announced HTTP services using the Avahi daemon. We’re chilling in the General Commands Manual section, and this page is literally all about that little bookmark-y web thing. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

avahi-bookmarks

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So avahi-bookmarks is a web service for listing HTTP services that are announced via mDNS/DNS-SD using the Avahi daemon. It opens a TCP socket on port 8080 and waits for incoming HTTP connections, returning a dynamic web site containing links to all services of type _http._tcp on the LAN. Point your browser to http://localhost:8080/ to make use of avahi-bookmarks. Slay. 🌈

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -p | --port= PORT — specify a TCP port number to listen on. If omitted defaults to 8080. Pick your port era wisely. ✨
  • -a | --address= address — specify an IP address to listen on. If omitted defaults to 127.0.0.1. Specify 0.0.0.0 if you want to allow remote access. That second one is the “let them in” vibe. 👀
  • -H | --host-names — create links pointing to mDNS host names instead of resolved IP addresses. This is only compatible with your browser if you run some kind of local NSS module to resolve mDNS host names (e.g. nss-mdns). If both -A and -H are omitted avahi-bookmarks detects whether NSS support is available locally. This option conflicts with -A. Name links, but only if your NSS setup is giving. 💅
  • -A | --addresses — create links pointing to numeric IP addresses instead of mDNS host names. This will break access to hosts running virtual servers. If both -A and -H are omitted avahi-bookmarks detects whether NSS support is available locally. This option conflicts with -H. Numeric IPs are cute until virtual servers get involved, ngl. 😭
  • -d | --domain=DOMAIN — the domain to browse for services in. Domain browsing, but make it specific. 🦋
  • -h | --help — show help. Help is help, bestie. 🫶
