My Pi 4 B is not using the .local address I have set it up to use. I would like to connect my Pi across the network using its .local address (such as pie.local). I am really just interested in having the domain be the IP address.

I have tried this answer posted on Unix SE and tried modifying /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts but neither of these work.

I have also tried the three steps listed in this answer, but they do not work.

I can ping my Pi's IP address just fine, but the .local address does not resolve.

Neither the Pi nor other devices on the network resolve pie.local when pinged.

Reset to default

It seems that the package avahi-daemon has fixed this issue.

I was also able to change the name to pie.local instead of the default one by modifying /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname and restarting the Pi.
