koi-mdns

mDNS/DNS-SD service discovery and registration for the local network.

Overview

koi-mdns provides a high-level domain facade (MdnsCore) for multicast DNS service discovery and registration. It wraps the mdns-sd crate behind an opaque boundary, manages service lifecycles with session/heartbeat/permanent lease modes, and exposes both programmatic commands and HTTP routes (via axum) for browsing, registering, resolving, and subscribing to service events.

Features

• Browse and resolve services by type (_http._tcp, _ssh._tcp, etc.)
• Register services with session, heartbeat, or permanent leases
• Subscribe to real-time lifecycle events (found, resolved, removed)
• Built-in HTTP API with SSE streaming
• Thread-safe registry with automatic lease reaping
