Include Avahi for Signal K discovery #180

Closed tkurki closed 6 years ago

tkurki commented 7 years ago

Apparently the current setup does not include Avahi (os level support) and Mdns (Signal K server level support). They are needed for Signal K client apps to autodiscover the server.

OK. I remember that being on the to do list, what I can not remember is why this jumped. I will check if there is any incompatibility with the current Wifi AP management. Thanks.

@tkurki can I have your email? I have some questions about SK server. Mine is info [youknowwhat] sailoog.com

On my test system running the latest OP beta, it shows no obvious problem. Both with bridged eth0 and without, the AP section and functionality works fine. With avahi and mdns installed.

I will add this to the next major update. Did it need any extra configuration or just installing?

@tkurki we are close to the stable version and waiting for this to make a major update: https://github.com/SignalK/specification/issues/244 any news?

tkurki commented 7 years ago

No configuration needed, Node server just checks if npm module mdns is available, which in turn needs avahi.

As for enums let's continue discussion at https://github.com/SignalK/specification/pull/382.

FYI

node v6.11.4 signalk-server-node 0.1.32

WARNING The program 'node' uses the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi. WARNING Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi!

This is normal.

tkurki commented 7 years ago

Do you install SK server from npm?

sailoog commented 7 years ago

Yes

tkurki commented 7 years ago

All right, I’ll pay more attention to publishing there. So far I have assumed that most people install from Github, that’s why I asked.

sailoog commented 7 years ago

ops sorry I misunderstood the question. I use github.
