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 the names of greek deities for my host names, mostly geared towards the function of the server/computer.

    • Nyx (dark-blue laptop)
    • Hypnos (gaming machine)
    • Argus (pi-hole and reverse proxy)
    • Prometheus (minecraft server)
