How to advertise hostname to router (via DHCP) in initramfs with dropbear?

I've setup the Debian package dropbear-initramfs to unlock my homeservers disk over SSH. Unfortunately, the router assigns a different IP to the server on every boot and its DNS does not know the server by its hostname at initramfs stage. Once I unlocked the disk and the server completed boot, I can resolve its hostname.
