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!

I use characters from whichever book I’m reading at the time. Examples:
- Arya: From ASOIAF, a small but powerful Ultrabook
- Cthulhu: From HP Lovecraft, a huge 17" laptop
- Horus: From the Horus Heresy books, A powerful laptop
- Binky: Death’s white horse from discworld, a white desktop
- Peaches: A rat that always carries a book with her. My home server
