    They are not saying it is a given. They are saying if you have a local DHCP+DNS server configured in a certain way, it will work by name. You also have zeroconf ; also DNS configurations for more professional setting. smbclient if for SMB file shares, has nothing to do with it. Also, for a web server, you do not specify what you want to do with it, and whom is getting into it e.g. what is your goal. Commented Jan 5, 2019 at 12:48

  • @RuiFRibeiro, less than 10. It's going be pretty much unmanaged, that's why I'm not considering a DNS which I actually know how to set up. Commented Jan 5, 2019 at 13:17
  • @Oxwivi have you considered using mDNS? Commented Jan 5, 2019 at 13:28
