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

scrchngwsl ,

I don't name my server names, 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.

MolochAlter ,

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.

TseseJuer ,

the collection of books of Enoch are wild and pretty crazy if they hold any truth

savedbythezsh ,

These names are really fun! Good ones to add to my list...

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
Neon ,

Dang. Mine are named after ancient Gods, so my first Server was named Neptune too.

I have to admit I was doing the same but with the greek versions. Though I liked to throw in hydra's and the like.

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"

One place I worked we had a rule - do not name a server for any group using it. It seems the groups become territorial when you try to add a different group to "their" server.

Office culture nuances...
I enjoy them.

Naming Schemes

waggz ,

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.

bogosort ,

I used to just name it after the os running on it, but I've now switched to periodic elements. But to not be too predictable, I randomly choose one, e.g. osmium, then helium, then argon etc

This is the less edg version of my naming scheme; greek gods

"why are the servers all fucking each other?"

Nice try, NSA.

hakunawazo ,

Let's invent password reveal day instead.

summerof69 ,

My Raspberry Pi is named 'raspberrypi'. I'm very creative.

StorageAware ,

Same thing here, except with a one extra number:
"raspberrypi5"

Lifebandit666 ,

I have a pi4b called pi4b, a server called Server, an OMV server called OMV and an ARR server called... Arr

Auli ,

I have proxmox called proxmox
Docker called docker
Postman called podman
Router called router
Storage called Snapraid but it's not 4unning Snapraid anymore.

Auli ,

Just as creative as my server called proxmox.

Similar to my scheme:

laptop = "laptop"
nas = "nas"
router = "router"

Then if there are more than one in each category I use nas-0, nas-1, etc.

sunbeam60 ,
  • 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 :)
