So many questions! How do i run this?

[markg85]

Hi,

Thank you for this project! It looks like what i need. I essentially just need a network alias because some devices in my network know it by name X, some by name Y. Don't ask ;)

From the elaborate detailed description i "think" that this project does what i want it to do. But it's completely unclear to me how.

You have 2 ways to install. Binary and docker.

Binary The binary version is partly clear to me. You register/publish new cnames. What isn't clear here is:

1. Do i need to keep a service running to keep publishing a name?
2. Do i need a systemd service file to run this in the background? And if so, what should i put in there?
3. Where does it store those published names?
4. How do i remove them if need be?

Docker The docker version is even more vague to me.

1. Nothing explains how i'd add a cname though the docker version. How?
2. Where does docker store these?
3. And how do i remove them?
4. How do i even run the docker image (i know how to build/run a docker compose, this one is a little rhetorical where you should probably provide the steps to build/run it too)

I'm looking forward to hearing some clarity about this. It's probably the fix for me :) But as it is now, it's waaaaaay too vague for me to even try it.
