Lost Alias capablity ?

[bmwtourer]

It looks like Amahi updated itself?

I wanted to add another alias and it is no longer there...

Any new way to do this?

ouch, good catch. we released this rather big new update recently and we're about to announce it after what it looks like a peaceful update.

the intention was to only enable that when "advanced features" are enabled. however, it looks like the menu was lost altogether.

apologies. let us work on it ...

I added the following aliases
router....
printerx...
mysql.... refers to mysql server

I know some might prefer to use static ip to work with but here is a use that the static ip won't do... except for router, most other aliases migth switch from one computer to another one...
like mysql might be computerA.home.com and once I update/upgrade the sql server and do not mess up the "old production" one, then I only change the ip of the alias to connect to computerB.home.com; that way if for some reason I want to undo the modification and go back to previous version/server, I only change alias again... no modifcation to the server/application...

aliases make maintenance easy...as with any decent network aliases are good network management...

Thank you for bringing this back to Amahi...

totally agree with that way of doing network management. sound and smart strategy.

we filed cannot create new aliases in release 3.4. please click on the Watch icon to get updated on the process of this bug.
