I'm currently setting up some machines in a network with a poor router which routes and offers DHCP, but does not put the DHCP clients into a DNS domain, so the machines need to use mdns to find each other. In order to have systemd/resolved use mdns, two steps are necessary: 1. MulticastDNS=yes must be put into /etc/systemd/resolved.conf and resolved restarted to enable it in general. 2. It must be enabled per interface. On the command line this can be done with resolvectl mdns eth0 yes result: # resolvectl mdns Global: yes Link 63 (eth0): yes and it works. Problem: It cannot be done automatically in a server/LXD image. Im having this problem inside the LXD 22.04 image. a) man pages suggest that /etc/systemd/network/eth0.network [Match] Name=eth0 [Network] MulticastDNS=yes would do the job, but it doesn't. It seems to be completely ignored. The reason seems to be that networkctl status eth0 shows Network File: /run/systemd/network/10-netplan- eth0.network so it seems to be overridden by netplan. b) netplan itself does not seem to support the MulticastDNS settings. c) On Desktop Machines I found a workaround with NetworkManager, but on server and LXD images, Network Manager does not exist. So I do not see a way to have this configured permanently (other than writing a systemd unit). But: I need to configure the machines / LXD machines using cloud-init, in order to have the installation pull packages from a server to be found with mdns. I tried to run resolvectl mdns eth0 yes as a bootcmd in Cloud-init, but this has no effect, because it is too early. I tried to run it as a runcmd, and it works but it is too late, because package installation has already failed. So where in this scrub between systemd and netplan could mdns be enabled in a way, that the automatic installation would work?
