see No mdns support in snaps (should core have a modified nsswitch.conf ?)

as long as this is not fixed, you can hack around it via a wrapper script like i do in:

ogra1/dashkiosk-client-browser/blob/master/chromium.launcher#L9


      
          #! /bin/sh
          
          set -e
          
          # get the IP from setting
          URL="$(snapctl get url)"
          
          # if url is not set, try crafting one from an avahi lookup
          [ -n "$URL" ] || URL="http://$(LC_ALL=C avahi-resolve-host-name -4 dashkiosk.local 2>/dev/null| sed 's/^.*\s//')/receiver"
          
          # fall back to hardcoded url if both of the above didnt work
          # point to the configuration website to set up wlan
          [ -n "$URL" ] || URL="http://localhost:8081/"
          
          rm -rf $SNAP_USER_DATA/.config/chromium/Singleton* || true
          
          start_chromium () {
              $SNAP/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser \
                  --no-default-browser-check \
