New Around Here
Hey folks, hoping someone can point me in the right direction to solve my problem.
I've got a NAS running on my local network that run some docker containers (home assistant etc) which exposes a port on the local network. For ease of use and not wanting to mess around with my external domain name I figured to use dnsmasq to map two hostnames to the internal ip address of the NAS so I can just go to homeassistant.local/mnemosyne.local in the browser instead.
I've installed merlin and setup the following entry in the dnsmasq.conf.add file after following the following guide in the wiki
After all the restarts and DNS flushing on Windows/Android I can navigate to either URL and be redirected to the NAS as expected. However on OSX/Ipad when I attempt the same only the mnemosyne.local hostname resolves.
On my windows machine when I ping either I get back the static IP address of the NAS
On OSX when I ping mnemosyne.local I get back the static IP of the NAS
On OSX when I ping homeassistant.local I get the following error
I'm at a loss currently as to what could be causing this given that it does work on Windows, so any and all help or advice would be appreciated!
I'm aware that this could be something to do with how the NAS is setup, but given that it's working on Windows/Android I figured I should start with the first connection point
