How To Find Ipaddress Of System(server) In Local Network?

I want to find IP address of my local server (system) which is run on debian-os in local network. I am able to find all IP Addresses in local network, But that is so time consumin

Solution 1:

You will have to setup a DNS-Server (either on the debian system itself, or on any other system, you might already have one too). Add a host entry (A-Record) for your debian system and provide the correct IP to the server. On your clients you will have to configure the DNS-Server too. They may then refer to the debian system by DNS-Name.

Alternatively, if you are writing the client software too, you may use mDNS to provide a "serverless" way of discovery, mDNS allows you to look for servers responding to a "DNS-Name" that you search for without an actual DNS-Server, this technique is often used by networked printers and multimedia devices. Chromecast uses a variation of mDNS too, to discover if a Chromecast device is present on the local network.
