Zeroconf discovery from docker-compose container to LAN host










0















For an IoT system there is the requirement that base stations automatically discover nearby devices, and then connect to them. The software on the base stations is deployed using docker-compose.



Services advertise using mDNS (zeroconf), and identify themselves as being of the type mytype. Clients use aiozeroconf to discover services matching _mytype._tcp.local..



The problem is that clients inside a docker-compose network don't discover services in the LAN network - even if they are otherwise reachable.



Currently, I have the following setup:



LAN (Wifi)
- IoT device
- ServiceA
- Host / base station
- ClientA
- Docker-compose network
- ServiceB
- ClientB


  • ClientA finds both ServiceA and ServiceB

  • ClientB finds ServiceB

  • avahi-discover on Host finds both ServiceA and ServiceB

  • ClientB can connect to ServiceA using the LAN IP (192.168.x.x)

Is this scenario considered out-of-spec for mDNS (ServiceA no longer considered in .local), or can this be solved?
