MDNS on BlendOS
Would someone point me in the right direction to get MDNS working on BlendOS?
I have tried the Avahi Arch Wiki, but no luck so far.

I have an Ubuntu 22.04 container dedicated to running SecureCRT and it works very well, however, MDNS does not appear to be working either inside the container or on BlendOS itself
[user@blend ~]$ sudo systemctl status avahi-daemon.service

No firewall on the system yetThat’s not how you codeblock
And easiest way is to set up avahi on the host
OK, so apart from the Arch wiki, are there any further instructions to set up Avahi?
It should be fine you can write to /etc
And systemd works as normal
So archwiki should work
Just substitute pacman with sudo system install avahi-daemon or whatever
As I posted, that has already been done
Look through the wiki or arch BBS then for your issue
OK thanks
bah, it appears that network has completely failed on the container, I will probably have to start again
That was it, I refreshed the container, and it all started working again
I also did a avahi-browse -a and it shows that MDNS is working as expected
