When we reboot our router, the IP changes, I know we could fix the IP to avoid this, but a name would be convenient.

Describe the solution you'd like

For example mainsailOS expose mainsailos.local in the first boot, here.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Setting a fixed IP.

Additional information

I understand I'm comparing the issue with a OS image, but I just wonder if it could be something doable.
Thank you for the fantastic work you guys do.

It's already possible.
From the main menu, go to the advanced menu, then select option 7 [Change hostname]. This will install the avahi-daemon and changes the hostname of the host.
