Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Would not recommend setting the static IP on the device. A much better solution is to set up a static lease in your DHCP Server.
Thank you for the feedback. I wasn't aware of DHCP static leases. I quickly looked into it. Is the benefit that all IP addresses are assigned by the single DHCP server as opposed to having configurations scattered across individual devices? Or are there other benefits as well?
It boils all down to "centralized management".
With that the DHCP server has control over anything. Reduces (or basically eliminates) the risk of IP collisions. Also it gives you a place where you get a overview over your network. You change the DNS Server? You do it onetime in the DHCP settings. Etc. Etc.
