hostname of pve not resolved correctly in local network

[exaveal]

Hi,

I am a absolut newbie and have some - perhaps - basic questions.
I have installed a proxmox server and connected to my local home network. The router is a Speedport Smart 3 device from Deutsche Telekom. All devices in the network have hostnames like wolf.speedport.ip or otto.speedport.ip or peter-laptop.speedport.ip ...

My PVE's name is dieter. So I hoped to access the webgui via https://dieter.speedport.ip:8006 but that doesn't work.
I can access the webgui via the ip or via the hostname https://dieter.local:8006 - but why? and why not dieter.speedport.ip?

This is the host file from my PVE. Do I have to change anyhting?

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.101.210 dieter.speedport.ip dieter

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
# --- BEGIN PVE ---
#127.0.1.1 dieter.speedport.ip dieter
# --- END PVE ---

Thank you very much!

Hi @exaveal , what you are trying to do - is not going to be achieved through configuration change on PVE. Your issue is with the browser/workstation/router/DNS.

As long as name resolution on your _client_ works - PVE will reply to that HTTP/S request.

Cheers

PVE does not use DHCP after setup so it's not registered in your router's DHCP lease table which it likely uses to provide you that local name resolveability.
See if you can reserve a lease for PVE's ip.

IP is working. And also "dieter.local" is working. And "dieter.local" must be defined somewhere as valid hostname for this ip. So this must come from somwhere, right?

.local is mDNS.
