Avahi BS? APIPA ("A"utomatic "P"rivate "IP" "A"ddressing) is not
avahi/mDNS (aka Bonjour / Zeroconf).
Your DHCP client giving you an APIPA address is indicative of broken
DHCP, and the fix is either:
A. Fix your broken DHCP
B. Set the machine up with a static IP address
I'm kind of surprised that an Armbian box doesn't have a hwclock that
you can set the proper time on, to survive reboots (but anyway, I
imagine once you get the machine running with a valid IP address for
your network, it'll be able to use whatever time-sync service armbian
ships with (quick ddg search implies it ships with chrony installed /
setup as default).
HTH :)
