[SOLVED] easy alias on local network?

AndersWinthereik · 12-27-2015, 12:09 PM

Hi.
I have a local network with a server and some clients. All linux.

On the server I have different services, Plex, Squeezebox, cups.
They all have a specific port they listen on, eg. squeezebox, which i can reach from any client with the adress 192.168.1.2:9000 or mintbox:9000.

Is it possible for me to make a setup that allows me to write only e.g. squeezebox, that is, without the portnumber, and reach the service in a simpler way?

thanks in advance
Anders

Maybe just apache virtualhosts for each name with an appropriate redirect line in the vhost config to redirect to the url

ort you want.

edit: provided you are using a web browser to access these services.

Yes I use a browser for these services.
Thank you for your answer. I will try that.
Somehow i expected that i could use some system-service, instead of having to install and configure an Apache-server.
