 ansible role avahi_client
===========================

Avahi provides local hostname resolution using a "hostname.local" naming scheme.
This ansible role installs the required dependencies and configures the DNS resolver accordingly.

You can opt-out from deploying a new ``/etc/nsswitch.conf`` config by setting ``avahi__configure_nsswitch`` to ``false``.

You can opt-in in a simple versionscheck that can prevent you from running a older version of this role by setting ``submodules_versioncheck`` to ``true``.

If you want only IPv4 or IPv6 names resolved, change ``mdns`` to ``mdns4`` or ``mdns6`` in these variables:
```yaml
avahi__mdns_name: 'mdns'
avahi__mdns_minimal_name: 'mdns_minimal'
```
