  • 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 :)

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

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?"

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 tangible servers and clients have people's names

My system components VMs have mythology names.

My non prod VMs have identifiable names like routeros, debiangui etc.

Fun stuff are my smart vacuums, I give them old women names from different countries. My very first one was Consuela, thinking of Family Guy.

I used to have an old laptop stuck in a corner just running Transmission. I called that Seed because that was its sole purpose. Its replacement is fully automated *arr and media server, making it both seed and vault, so I had to call it Spitsbergen (reference)

I don't have many now, just minstrel (it plays music) but previously they've always just be sounds. Rawr, groan, whimper, bark, moan, growl etc.

Except minstrel (it plays music) :p

NeoNachtwaechter ,

OK what is whimper's job?

@naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

whimper was a dovecot and postfix machine. Email isn't very fun

NeoNachtwaechter ,

I see :-)

As a huge fan of Star Wars content from before Disney got involved and poisoned it (notable exceptions of Rogue One, Andor, some of the animated shows, etc.), I utilize warship names from the Expanded Universe (now called "Legends") - what I like to call True Star Wars.

My main server is Chimaera. My backup server that also performs as an NVR is Lusankya. My separate mostly-NAS server away from my server rack is Admonitor.

I have sci-fi themed names (not all Star Wars - two other franchises represented here, virtual kudos to those who can identify) for the storage pools too (using TrueNAS SCALE on all three servers):

  • Chimaera (Main Server)
    • Star-Forge (Apps/VM Pool)
    • Holocron (Data Pool)
  • Lusankya (Backup + NVR Server)
    • Shadow-Broker (Apps Pool)
    • Resurrection (Backup Pool)
    • Spynet (NVR Pool)
  • Admonitor (NAS Server)
    • Mount-Tantiss (Apps Pool)
    • Datacron (Data Pool)
NeoNachtwaechter ,

No phantasy involved here.

Just my initials & "server" & a number.

Or, if the device isn't exactly a server, it can also be my initials & "router" & a number, or "bridge" etc.

ordellrb ,

I had them once named after things ( mostly Ships) from Jules Verne Books: Nautilus, Albatross, Formentera, Duncan, Dobryna, Hansa.
