After upgrading from Xenial to Bionic, my syslog is being spammed by minissdpd. From today’s syslog going back three hours:<\/p>\n

192.168.1.0 is my LAN.<\/p>\n
According to the upstream report [1], specifying an interface should get rid of the ”not from a LAN” messages, and I can confirm that adding ”-i eth1” to the value of MiniSSDPd_OTHER_OPTIONS in \/etc\/default\/minissdpd does just that. I don’t know how good a solution adding a fixed interface is though, I’d imagine switching to (e.g.) a wifi interface on a system with multiple interfaces would cause the message flood to reappear.<\/p>\n
