And you can get it to publish other hostnames - Google avahi host alias

The error "Failed to add address: Local name collision" occurs because raspberrypi.local is already registered as a hostname instead of the alias homeassistant.local. Do you have a solution for this issue?

You can have it publish an alias, that's what I do

#

/etc/avahi/hosts, and add

192.168.42.42 homeassistant.local

and do you have that ?
/etc/avahi/services/homeassistant.service

No

I have been trying to configure the hostname alias using /etc/avahi/hosts and remove /etc/avahi/services/homeassistant.service, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm wondering if this issue might be related to the fact that I'm running Home Assistant through Docker Compose. Could the Docker setup be interfering with the Avahi configuration?
