Problem statement
Autodiscovery of the InvenTree server is not possible; so you need to set up the server on every device manually
Suggested solution
Autodiscover via mDNS/DNS-SD; We could include Avahi in the docker image and advertise the service.
This is also possible without d-bus.
For the app this would be a flutter package.
Describe alternatives you've considered
There are other discovery solutions like preferred hostname, SNMP discovery, ... - most of them are for enterprises and not applicable to simple networks
