If you change the hostname of your LibraryBox, don't use something like librarybox.local.  The .local top-level domain will not resolve properly on unix-based systems, including iOS and macOS devices.  Just an FYI

Correct. .local is reserved for mDNS requests , used for name resolution of local names via broadcast
