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.
Named mine after “objects” from Iain M. Banks’ Culture Novels.
Currently I have:
Nice and short, and map roughly to the “power level” of the hardware, so to speak.
And my Yubikeys are named after Special Circumstances agents 😄
