When running ESPHome in a container, it fails to resolve .local addresses and can't check the status of devices (even with ESPHOME_DASHBOARD_USE_PING=true).
This thread provides a Dockerfile to include the Avahi daemon in the image to support mdns.
The purpose of this repository is simply to build an ESPHome image with the Avahi daemon from the base image in DockerHub.
The Github actions to create a release when there is a new latest tag runs at 00:45AM daily and build/push to vxav/esphome-avahi runs on release.
