Feature request: publishing "services" #206

Description

Summary

Beyond resolving hosts, mDNS also allows broadcasting so-called "services". This is handy for doing autodiscovery mechanisms. It's the way devices like printers and Chromecasts advertise that they exist in your wifi.

Motivation

Other libraries are not pure Go and require talking to the Avahi Daemon or mapping a socket over a volume when used from a container, which makes it annoying to use in Windows as you are forced to use WSL and litter the host with avahi.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I looked at hashicorp's library
which is supposed to permit this, but development seems to be dead and I was not able to get it to publish services in Windows despite their examples not erroring. 🤔
