Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When single user would like to multiple devices would be nice to have option to provide device name by CLI parameter (like --name) as could be hard to guess by NetBird operator who registered the device.

Describe the solution you'd like

Provide the device name manually to CLI or somehow automatically get the metadata info who registered the device

Describe alternatives you've considered

Have an option to configure JWT claim from IDP and add some metadata which user registered the device (but probably this will be solved by activity events showed by @braginini)

This would also be useful for me. An --dev-name argument following --setup-key would be helpful, especially when using the same setup key for multiple endpoints.

it'd be very useful eg in case of home assistant or any other way when netbirn run inside a container. in this case it's very annoying that the hostname will be a docker container id eg: 049e78cb8a5d
