[Feature Request] mDNS support for Account URLs
I have a server in my home network that's running FreshRSS. Let's say that the server's host name is home-server
I wish to add this FreshRSS instance to Readrop v2.0-beta-1 by going to Account > New Account > FreshRSS
Then, I enter http://home-server:freshrss_port under "Account URL"
However, when I click "Validate", I get an error message:
Input is not a valid URL
Instead, I must use http://local_IP:freshrss_port or http://home-server.local:freshrss_port Note the use of .local in the second option.
Some reasons why adding mDNS support would be useful:
- No need to remember the server's local IP
- Tailscale users can connect to their home servers by using the same mDNS hostnames available in their local network. This extends to their FreshRSS instances.
In other words, if I can set Account URL to http://home-server:freshrss_port, then I can connect to FreshRSS while away from home (using Tailscale).
When I get back home and directly connect to the network, I can continue to use the same RSS server seamlessly (without having to manually adjust the Account URL).
