Advertising local HTTP services via Avahi/Zeroconf on Debian I have a Debian server on local network for home media center/NAS purposes. It is running multiple services such as Plex, or Ajenti, which I can access like so: for Plex for Ajenti However I would like to access these services like so: for Plex for Ajenti Is this possible to configure via avahi alone, or what other simple solution would you suggest?

So the way to do the thing you're directly asking is to add those hosts as aliases to /etc/avahi/hosts (which reads like /etc/hosts) so that those work and are advertised over zeroconf/avahi . The second thing would be to install a reverse proxy (using Apache or Nginx or something) to forward requests for those hosts to the right service.

No idea how well plex will work behind a reverse proxy, though.
