We are not interested in the local bind address of the daemon. Instead, we want to use the IP address under which the daemon is available from other machines.
This should also avoids the issue that connecting to 0.0.0.0 is not possible on Windows (we want to use 0.0.0.0 as default bind address).
Limitations
Note that this solution does not cover port remappings yet. For example, a router between the daemon and the internet might map the daemon's listen port to some other port number. In this case, the port number in the
Register
message would be incorrect. To fix this, we would need to make the advertised port number configurable independently of the daemon'sbind
port number.
