IP ok, but no dns entry

riquet78

Hi,

I want to change the Hostname of my RaspberryPi/RuneAudio on my LAN

I have edited /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname, and /etc/resolv.conf point to correct server.
On my gateway server, a static entry is in dhcpd.conf for RuneAudio Server.

I can access it via IP address, but not by DNS name.

Any idea to solve this issue ?

Thanks,

Hi riquet78,
What you have done is to change the hostname locally on the Raspberry Pi. This is completely independent of reaching the Raspberry Pi from your network. The DNS name must be set on a DNS server.

It's not usual to run a DNS server at home in the traditional sense, luckily RuneAudio can present itself on the network through Bonjour/ZeroConf (actually avahi).

To change the name that RuneAudio presents to the network, go to "Menu" -> "Settings". From here, you can change the setting "Player hostname". Press the "APPLY SETTINGS"-button, and you're good to go.

Thanks for your response !
DHCP host entry was not sufficient.
Effectively DNS Server is the solution, i've juste installed and configure Bind and it works.

Nowadays, number of device is growing (thanks to raspberry Pi

)
and if we want to control internet access at home and have easier maintenance of all these devices, we need something to manage them !
A server@home with a DNS in this case is not so unusual

Thanks for your help
(And sorry for my english)

No worries, glad you got it working.

My main message was that you can change the player name in RuneAudio from the web interface though.

To change the name that RuneAudio presents to the network, go to "Menu" -> "Settings". From here, you can change the setting "Player hostname". Press the "APPLY SETTINGS"-button, and you're good to go.

If you change it from here, to "myplayer", you can reach RuneAudio from your browser with:

http://myplayer

http://myplayer.local

No need for a DNS at home, although it can be useful to have one.
