== Service Discovery ==
|
|
|
|
Service discovery allows other devices on the network to discover your !FreedomBox and services running on it. If a client on the local network supports mDNS, it can find your !FreedomBox at <hostname>.local (for example: freedombox.local).
|
|
|
|
It also allows !FreedomBox to discover other devices and services running on your local network.
|
|
|
|
Service discovery is not essential and works only on internal networks. It may be disabled to improve security especially when connecting to a hostile local network.
|
|
|
|
=== Troubleshooting ===
|
|
|
|
==== Unable to reach <hostname>.local ====
|
|
|
|
If <hostname>.local is not able to be reached, you may simply need to disable and re-enable the Service Discovery feature in !FreedomBox.
|
|
To do this, go to '''System -> Service Discovery''', slide the toggle to the left position to disable it (it turns grey), followed by sliding it back to the right to re-enable it (it turns blue).
|
|
|
|
To do this you obviously need other means to reach your !FreedomBox than <hostname>.local. See the [[FreedomBox/Manual/QuickStart|Quick Start Guide]] for those.
