I named my PiHole holypi

felbane ,

There is no original thought.

A friend of mine had some explaining to do when he screwed up a dhcp config change and started routing his guest wifi through his "personal" pihole instead of the restricted guest one (he had family/children over often and did not want to be the reason nephew Timmy got an eyeful of wet bush or a beheading).

His family-friendly pihole was at holypi.lastname.local and his private one was creampi.lastname.local

My SYNOLOGY NAS that's just shy of being used for too much stuff (96% CPU means I've got 4% left babyyyy) is, was, and will forever be: Senpai.

That way people (my wife and parents) notice it in the network list.

My first VPS was for a Minecraft server so I named it cobblestone. I've kept using Minecraft related names for all my machines since then, and I try to pick ones that are at least vaguely related to the function or appearance of the machine. For example my cluster has brute for the master and piglin01-piglin04 for the workers, but those are the only ones I've numbered.

The exception is my two Klipper RPi's, one is octopi since that's what it originally ran, and the other is named after the model of the printer. For some reason I never named my printers.

I probably wouldn't use a naming scheme like this for production servers though - I'd either go with functional hostnames or something like the periodic table which you can pick from arbitrarily. My home servers and clients aren't cattle though, so I like having a little personality to the names there.

I use Futurama-based names. It started with my wifi network, which I named Zoidberg, because why not. The NAS is Infosphere, the media server is Hypnotoad, etc.

nuc because it is a nuc and vps because it is a vps.

My only server is named domino server because just a small change and everything on it will break. Yes, it is that unstable.

Valinor - Proxmox server
Khazad-Dum - TrueNAS Scale
Rivendell - Ubuntu 22.04 server

Got a few others as well, but those are the ones I interact with the most.

My previous home server was a Cisco thin-client and my partner called it Benjamin so when I replaced it, I kept the logic.

I'm a Sysadmin, so my names are purely functional:

host-pmx-01 through 03, my 3 node Proxmox cluster

vm-[SERVICE], optional 01-03 if needed

ct-[SERVICE], for LXC containers

It makes it easy to reference things via DNS for service discovery.
