Introduced functions to retrieve the MAC address and set the system hostname to the app name plus the last 4 characters of the MAC address. This ensures unique hostnames for each device during installation.

This ensures each device has a unique hostname during installation, preventing network conflicts and making devices easily identifiable.

@fatihak Adding the "set hostname" in the update.sh file might be too destructive. What do you think?

Wondering if it might be more straightforward to have an optional argument to the install script to set a custom hostname instead?

Haven't heard back, I also think updating the host name after an update would be destructive and confusing. I would be open to having an argument in the install/update scripts to be able to set a custom hostname instead.
