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 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
