What host names do you use?
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
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!
MacBook Pro:
mbp.domain.comRaspberry Pi 2:
rpi2.domain.comRaspberry Pi 3:
rpi3.domain.comRaspberry Pi 4:
rpi4.domain.comRaspberry Pi 5:
rpi5.domain.com(Yes, I have one of each.)
Synology DS415+:
ds415.domain.comPhone:
iphone.domain.comWatch:
watch.domain.comAppleTV:
appletv.domain.comNintendo Switch:
switch.domain.comI'm missing the rpi1 in that list. Please fix ASAP.
That one was called just
rpi.domain.com, but didn't stand the test of time...I envy you so much
Wait until I tell you about all the small issues this zoo of devices brings with it… haha.
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
rpi5-1and the new onerpi5-2.
