Description After installing spotifyd view homebrew and running brew services start spotifyd I received the following popup:

If I go to my macos settings and change it back, it quickly changes again to include the -2. Finally once I stop the spotifyd service I am able to change my hostname back to what it was originally.

To Reproduce

  1. Install spotifyd on macos
  2. run spotifyd as a homebrew service

Expected behavior My laptop's hostname should not be modified

Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if we can do something about that issue. spotifyd relies on spinning up a mdns service, which seems to interfere with the macOS network discovery stack. A possible fix for this would be to just disable discovery by specifying credentials in the config file or via cli arguments.

Hope this helps.
