Reflect with the tag that I'm looking for libre software (= open-sorce).

Aug 16, 2012 at 2:59 | comment | added | imz -- Ivan Zakharyaschev | I've stumbled upon some code where they try to use a Java mdns implementation and some source code from avahi on Android -- code.google.com/p/zeroconf-for-android/source/browse/trunk (It was a project to "create a simple android-application for managing devices (electronic devices like lamps) via zero configuration networking".) I'm not sure how it works, and whether this code can be adapted for publishing the SSH services... | |
Aug 13, 2012 at 14:37 | comment | added | Izzy | Sure, that was understood from the beginning -- that's why I thought it as a work-around undtil you find a real solution. There are apps available permitting you to configure a "fixed IP on demand / by network" (as opposed to the "fixed DHCP"), which should even work with your extreme airport basestation. If you're interested, I could sum this up and place it in an answer (together with my above comment). | |
Aug 13, 2012 at 14:22 | comment | added | imz -- Ivan Zakharyaschev | @Izzy: I see, thanks, that's a very reasonable workaround. But unfortunately, in my case, it seems that I have (as the router) an Airport Extreme basestation which doesn't support "DHCP reservations". Also, it would be nice to be able to connect to the device by a "nickname" in the situation when I'm a "guest" (in a network not configured by me). | |

I know it's not the same, but while searching for the "final solution": I advised my routers DHCP to assign the devices a static IP, and then configured that with my local DNS (you could also do so via /etc/hosts ). So I don't have to remember IPs, but the devices "nick names", which is quite easy in comparision.

Aug 13, 2012 at 13:08 | comment | added | imz -- Ivan Zakharyaschev | As for the SSH part of the wish, there are already Q&As: android.stackexchange.com/questions/9905/… , android.stackexchange.com/questions/15503/… . (Although I'll have to find out whether the suggested solutions are free/libre software--to answer my question.) The avahi/bonjour/zeroconf support part of my question is without an answer though... | |
Aug 13, 2012 at 13:02 | comment | added | imz -- Ivan Zakharyaschev | Just the same wish -- android.stackexchange.com/questions/20907/… : to ssh to Android not by its IP, but rather by the name acquired via zeroconf/bonjour/avahi/mdns (whatever you call it). It would be even better if the SSH service would be published via zeroconf/bonjour/avahi/mdns/dnssd (whatever you call it). | |
