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.
Desktop: HAL9000
laptop: HALjr
Phone: HALnano
Then HALserver, HALprinter (octoprint), HALhome (home assistant) and so on… Big fan of Stanley Kubrick haha
Tried to get the hal9.ooo domain name but it was taken…
My PC was HAL_9000 for over a decade. It got tedious to type, so it’s now just “box.”
Ha I like it. Yeah I skipped the underscore/hyphen for that reason.
