Feature request: Mappable services directory

[BurrPro]

Unless I'm missing something, I've been unable to find a way to map a directory from the host, to the container to have persistent static service mapping.

This would be hugely beneficial in simplifying my network scope and allow me to have multiple airplay endpoints on one vlan, but selectively reflect the discovery to different vlans e.g. guest, owner, staff etc.

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Hi @BurrPro,

Could you provide more information (documentation links, example of how it would be set up outside of a Docker container) so I can understand what's required to support this?

There's nothing that's stopping you from mounting a volume into /etc/services of this container with a command such as the following:

docker run --volume /srv/docker/ahavi/services:/etc/services:ro flungo/avahi

This would map /srv/docker/ahavi/services from your host machine into the container (as read-only), and avahi (inside the container) would read and use the service files from this directory.

If you get something working that you think would be useful to a wider audience, I'd be happy to accept a PR adding it to the README.
