Thanks! I've seen this phrase before when hunting around some other forum posts. How can I check this? I assume on my router or on the access points? I can't see anything in the Deco app about this, I found this link that suggests it might not be supported?
If the dockers networking is NOT in host mode it will not really discover much as discovery depends on a lot of ports for a lot of different protocols.. As bookworm also noted DNS / mDNS is also very important to discovery.
Thanks for the advice. Is there a certain YAML file or something I should be looking at to check this? I installed via portainer and haven't seen any of the configs this time around
I highly suggest using the "stacks" feature in portainer as it lets you use standard docker compose YAML files to do the config but still lets you have the ease of use of the stop start, pull, CLI UI etc. The default way of using portainer often obfuscates important settings.
Nice one, I'm going to check this out!
