Easyjour

Super simple access to service announcing and discovery using Bonjour aka DNSSD.

Examples

Announce an HTTP server called garbage_files that’s available on port 3000.

service = Easyjour.serve("garbage_files", 'http', 3000)

Search for HTTP servers and print them out as they reply.

search = Easyjour::Search.new('http') do |result|
  puts "http://#{result.target}:#{result.port}/"
end

print "Press enter to cancel the search: "
gets
search.stop

Do a blocking search for 5 seconds looking for git services.

results = Easyjour.synchronous_search(5, 'git')
results.each do |result|
  puts "git://#{result.target}:#{result.port}"
end

Install

gem install easyjour
