Hi fellow selfhosters!
What hostnames do you use for your systems and services?
And maybe why if it’s an interesting story.
I’ll start:
Steam Deck: krax
Smartphone: krix (once I get LineageOS installed again)
MiniPC: krux
Reserved for future use: krex & krox
Creative, I know. 😅 The names have no deeper meaning. The x comes from Linux. That’s it.
I know some of you use god names of certain pantheons, such as Thor. But I find that boring as a lot of people are doing that.
Used to be astronomy based. Sol for actual network and then planets and stellar bodies and stuff. But I have so many devices now.
Now I just make it ass informative with as free letters as possible. Almost everything is 3 or 4 letters long.
So like fsrv for file server, msvr for media server and so on.
