houdry serve announces itself on the local network (mDNS _houdry._tcp and UDP port 41808). Houdry Agent and houdry gpu register browse for that announce.
One control plane on Wi‑Fi
You usually do not type an IP. Agent fills Houdry server URL. GPU nodes run:
houdry gpu register
Several control planes, or isolated Wi‑Fi
Paste the URL.
- Nodes:
houdry gpu register --server http://HOST:8080 - Agent:
http://HOST:8080/v1
Guest networks that isolate clients block discovery.
Turn announce off
houdry serve --listen 0.0.0.0:8080 --no-lan-discover
Then everyone uses an explicit URL. GET http://HOST:8080/.well-known/houdry.json confirms a host is Fabric.
Do not bind Fabric to the public internet. It is an on-prem control plane.
