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!

That one was called just rpi.domain.com, but didn’t stand the test of time…

What happens if you add another RPi?

I might rename them. So, e.g. if I’d add another Pi5, the existing one would become rpi5-1 and the new one rpi5-2.
