http avahi service

Hello,

Didn't know where to post this so I thought it may be a possible tiny and stupid feature to be implemented (takes like 2 minutes).

Love it or hate it, there is an easy way to setup the web access to RuneAudio when using Epiphany or Safari browser (or using a plugin on Chrome/Firefox or iTunes bonjour for IE).

sshing to runeaudio as root, run this command:

Code: Select all
nano /etc/avahi/services/runeaudio-web.service


runeaudio-web.service name is not really important, could be something else. Then paste this:

Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?>
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
<service-group>
  <name replace-wildcards="yes">RuneAudio on %h</name>
  <service>
    <type>_http._tcp</type>
    <port>80</port>
  </service>
</service-group>


Ctrl-O to save and Ctrl-X to quit nano. No need to restart anything. %h is replaced by the hostname. I put it there just in case there are more than 1 device on the network. Maybe RuneAudio should be replaced (or removed) by RuneUI as it is the web page title. Thought about this after doing on Fedora:

Code: Select all
avahi-browse -a


You get this:

Code: Select all
+    em1 IPv4 E3CA3693F4EB@RuneAudio                        AirTunes Remote Audio local
+    em1 IPv4 RuneAudio                                     Music Player Daemon  local
+    em1 IPv4 runeaudio-pi512                               SFTP File Transfer   local
+    em1 IPv4 runeaudio-pi512                               SSH Remote Terminal  local
+    em1 IPv4 RuneAudio on runeaudio-pi512                  Web Site             local


Second line comes from mpd.conf, maybe that would be clearer (in case of multiple devices) to be able to update MPD avahi name with the hostname.
