Selfhosted

Basically all mine are from this list (or similar) Star Wars planet list

I don't name my servers anything special, but I do name my various Zigbee sensors in Home Assistant after Egyptian gods. Atum-Ra, Tefnut, Shu, etc. I've avoided the ones that also coincide with Stargate gods, as I thought that would be too exciting for me.

Delta, Epsilon, Beta, rpi01, rpi02...

Travolta, Stallone, Dr.Jacoby, BlackMamba

i use...colors...

the servers in my and my friends' network are called Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Heracles, and hp_elitedesk (don't ask about those last two

I do come up with fancy names for my laptops though, usually some combination of the model of the laptop and the OS it's running. Void Linux + Thinkpad = "voidpad" was pretty straightforward, but when my next machine was an Alienware running Arch I was a bit stuck. After a bit of thought I remembered that one episode of Star Trek with the Guardian of Forever and named it "guardianoffornow"

Fuck off EU governments!

My servers/desktops are named after celestial bodies:

• Neptune
• Saturn
• Ceres
• Pluto

My mobile devices are named after space ships from sci-fi shows and the like:

• Rocinante
• Donnager
• Normandy

Naming Schemes

I use Roman deities. My recent Beelink purchase received the name Mellona. I thought it was fitting. Others have no relevance, just random, like Pluto, Juno, Jupiter, Neptune... double fun for them being space objects as well.

My server is called Mars, and the two clients I have are Phobos and Deimos (the moons of Mars). I though that's a good fit.

Rabble. It's themed with my other devices, Pibble, Pabble, and Ribble.

• My self-hosted docker server is called Ark.
• My NAS is called NAS.
• The two remote servers are simply called the name of the country they reside in.
• The OPNsense router is called, wait for it, Router.
• The TV client is called TV.

It’s not very colourful :)

ever since i first fell in love with warcraft, it's always been kalimdor people, points, and places

I use Harry potter characters mostly for wife approval points.

Pi based one was called Dobby runs home assistant and is small

First one was called Fawkes because it was a reused laptop and was hot

Current one is buckbeak because it's fast and like Fawkes came back from dead systems

I have a threadripper at work to come so I'll have to think of what that one will be.

Only two I've thought through naming are

Roshar - Unraid server where 90% of apps/services live.

Cobalt Guard - Ubiquiti UDMPro

Maybe Knight Radiant or a character who is one, or even one of the orders would have fit better for protecting roshar but I like how cobalt guard sounds for a FW

Years ago, I was in a University library and they had named all the printers after characters from the first three Star Wars movies.

I liked the idea of having a theme, so I use shark names. White, Blacktip, Mako, Hammerhead, etc etc.

tools for my docker host with most services running on it truenas for my truenas host p01-p03 for my VPSs gpu-linux for my AI art and LLM machine

desktops and laptops are all misc strings that windows or Linux comes up with at install time

Mine are all anime characters. Currently I have:

• Mizuho (Onegai Teacher)
• Misaki (To Aru Kagaku no Railgun)
• Washu (Tenchi Muyo)
• Siesta (Zero no Tsukaima)
• Derfflinger (Zero no Tsukaima)

Hydra

I use names off the list of 22 fallen angels from the Book of Enoch.

It's a really interesting piece of hebrew apocrypha that details the circumstances leading to the flood. Feels much more high fantasy/pagan myth than the modern bible/torah.

ACME-USCA-WEB01 ACME-GERM-DC02

I worked for a company where the previous IT dorks named the servers after startrek ships. It's cute at home. Had to rename everything and readdress the whole organization.

web01, web02, ... db01, db02, ... api01, api02, ...

You get the idea.

Moxy does some Proxy

Cluster of the fuck

Boxxy

F8U12

RPI4

Shuttle

Transporter

Orbiter

From mangas of course!

short nicknameserv 2 (accidentally screwed up 1.0’s OS and all of my Apple devices are similar format but phone, pad, etc) for my opencore-updated macOS server.

Lnxserv for my Debian server (boring but followed the naming scheme).

I used to have cool mythological names and the like but anymore I want simplicity and it to be more personal than some deity.

Nice try fed, won't get my hostname that easily

I don’t really name my servers anything special (just hperrin-server, smtp1, smtp2, etc), but I like to name my projects after figures in Greek mythology.

• Nymph, my ORM
• Nephele, my WebDAV server
• Soteria, my security camera system

Chevy - Main server, rarely goes down unless I missed something on Ford

Ford - Test bed for Chevy. Questionable shit happens here.

UFO - primary desktop, most of the stuff happens here. Old Alienware case with new insides.

Sat - dreaming laptop, used for streaming from UFO.

Tron - VPN

Edit: Forgot my Wi-Fi router Colson, it dies often due to aging hardware.

Everything has some sort of top:

Slacktop, craptop, proxtop, oldtop, wifetop, and batocera (because I keep forgetting to ssh in and change it).
