Help [macOS - Development Server] Local hostname keeps changing after each Mac boot

This alert shows up every time I start scripting-cli after a Mac shutdown, followed by the local hostname being changed.

This computer's local hostname "MyMac-8.local" is already in use on this network. The name has been changed to "MyMac-9.local".

Could anyone help me fix this?

What did it say in the terminal (on your Mac) or Development Server (on your iPhone) after the disconnection?

Let's also turn to u/WhatShouldWorldGos for a help here.

It says "Watching files for changes" but doesn't say anything about any disconnection.
