local - avahi dns doesn't work

this question has answer here:

i'm trying dns resolution of avahi .local domains.

i can do:

$ avahi-resolve-host-name redacted.local redacted.local  10.xx.xx.xx

but not

ping redacted.local ping: redacted.local: name or service not known

it appears machine not configured use avahi (or assist) it's dns lookups. try adding following /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base file:

nameserver 127.0.0.1

the ip address might different in case, make sure points server running avahi. reload resolve configuration running:

sudo resolvconf -u

the system should (also) check avahi server resolve redacted.local ip address.
