Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/337
would it be possible to use a servers hostname instead of the ip? my very crappy routers dhcp constantly gives a new ip to my server, but the hostname stays the same. many other applications can use hostnames in place of the ip, would this be possible here too?
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Jun 18, 2019):
I don't see any reason it wouldn't be possible.
@chrisokuda commented on GitHub (Jun 18, 2019):
It works fine, I use it that way with the
.localTLD (my barrier server is atname.local, for example).@fredlllll commented on GitHub (Jun 18, 2019):
@chrisokuda thanks for the tip! i tried it without .local and it doesnt work that way. maybe it should be mentioned somewhere that this needs .local
@chrisokuda commented on GitHub (Jun 18, 2019):
@fredlllll You have to set that .local up yourself somehow, I used my router, but that's beyond the scope of this thread.
@fredlllll commented on GitHub (Jun 18, 2019):
@chrisokuda interesting, i didnt have to set anything up. usually just using my computers hostname works for lan network stuff, but for barrier i added .local to the name and suddenly it worked. i have a german telekom router. speedport something something. maybe they have it builtin
