Using unraid for mDNS between IOT network


Recommended Posts

Good Afternoon everyone,

 

I currently use untangle as my home router, the only issue being it does not have avahi/mDNS feature built into it.  This creates an issue with smart home devices as this is a critical service for them to function.

 

Does anyone know of a way to use unraid, preferably a docker, to be the mDNS forwarder/server for the network, to keep the devices off the main network, but still allow stuff like that to work?

Hi, I have the same requirement and I've been using a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian with avahi daemon connected to all my VLANs for this purpose.

 

I only noticed today during some unRAID maintenance that the mDNS/avahi daemon seems to be part of the operating system.  So I am *also* curious if I can get this working using uNRAID rather than having to maintain my Raspberry Pi.
