What host names do you use?
What host names do you use?
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. š 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!
You're viewing a single thread.
I use concepts of games I like. Right now Alan Wake and Pacific Drive are the two of them.
- Main Laptop: Typewriter
- Steam deck: Poet
- NAS: The Lake
- Main Pc, that has become more a render station since I mostly work on a laptop and game on a steam deck: Lighthouse
- Hue Hub: Light switch
- Phone: Flashlight
But when I started to be more interested in networking and installed openwrt on my router, I was more infatuated by Pacific Drive:
- Router: Outer Containment Wall
- WiFi 5/2.4 Dual: ARDAnet
- WiFi for iot: RemnantNet
- GuestNet: OEZone
- VPN: BreacherNet
- Switch: SparkTower
So you wanna tell me your NAS is a Data Lake? ;D
Indeed ;ā )
You are missing the Muse for your Poet. :D
You know what, next device I can (host)name will be the Muse. :D
