mdns-repeater

[fabian]

because this is very often requested:
a plugin may become available.

For some early adopters, a mostly working plugin is attached.

Not yet implemented: status indicator (the thing on the top right on the screen)

Hi Fabian,

If you want to help testing let users know how to install it and tell them what architecture it is for.

Also don't forget to mention that it requires to install "mdns-responder" too.


Cheers,
Franco

sure: to install the package, type

Code: [Select]

pkg add https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=5879.0;attach=2425
on the shell. After a reload it should be available. mdns-repeater should be installed automatically, as it is a dependency.
If not, it can be installed using:

Code: [Select]

pkg install mdns-repeater

When 17.7.2 is released, it will be available for testing using the os-mdns-repeater-devel package.
I added the package here to avoid the package to be delayed for those who need it.

Hi Fabian,

I have tried to install this plugin but the commad

Code: [Select]

pkg add https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=5879.0;attach=2425 returns error.
Could you help me, please?

Thank you

You could also build from the source:

# opnsense-code plugins
# cd /usr/plugins/net/mdsn-repeater
# make package
# pkg install work/pkg/*.txz


Cheers,

@fichtner: may be a "problem" with the forum software which does not allow the download without being logged in.

@mic In this case you have to download the file and install manually.

[franco]

@fabian, yeah that is probably a standard setting

Fabian,
I tried to download the file but I had this error:

404 - Attachment Not Found

[fabian]

Code: [Select]

pkg add https://files.fabian-franz.eu/os-mdns-repeater-devel-1.0.txz

Hi,

thank you very much, I try it right now, works great so far.

I killed my manually started mdns-repeater process and just installed the pkg from fabian, logged out and in again and then enabled my 2 interfaces under services and it works!

Thank you for fast and great developing guys, you´re awesome!

cheers,

UPDATE; please ignore my post have now installed it 

[fabian]

yes, it is published in the OPNsense repository since - no need to download a prerelease

Is this working with OpenVPN devices?

[fabian]

as any other plugin: currently no because the OPNsense does not give a real interface name to the plugin.

[forca]

any news about working mdns-repeater with OpenVPN devices (tun)?

would be very nice..
