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.
Now let your pants down and tell me all about
your embarrassing host names!
I wouldn't say my hostnames are very creative, but they all have some kind of backstory.
Main desktop: POwOful
It's a pretty powerful desktop, so why not call it that :)
Laptop: LenOwO
Can you guess the laptop brand?
Server 1: Shitbox
It's my first server box I ever built, so it's underpowered and pretty shitty.
Server 2: Stowage
My proper server with actual data parity, and it's pretty powerful
Server 3: Jank
This one is another shitmix of hardware with random harddrives in raid 0. I am aware that they'll die at some point, and all of that data stored on it will be lost, so i use it as temporary storage whenever I need to copy something from one machine to another.
Robot vacuum: suckywucky
Yea....
