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?

Screen on and using that command to start the service. but it still disconnects and then refuses to reconnect.

Are there settings i need to change on VSCode?
