My Docker machine - JPL

My NAS - Houston

My Laptop - Artemis

I like NASA.

It started with fruit names
Citron, nectarine, fraisedesbois, cassis, yuzu, abricot…
Then I got tired and call them by what they are
Changedetection, torrents, pihole, reverse, arr, ntfy, homeassistant, nuclias, minecraft, portainer… 😓

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.

• 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 :)

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.

The devices usually get some descriptor of what they look like…

For example I have:

• Flatboard - an old core2duo era Xeon bare tower server board I got on Craigslist for $20 that lives on a custom backplate and no case (thus, is flat)
• OrangeBox - an Orange Pi 5 in a aptly-colored orange case I custom modeled and 3d printed for it
• DumbBrick - my retired gaming PC built from a t30 dell tower server that is basically a nondescript black brick

Proxmox Machine: Vimes
LinuxVM (Web and Appserver): Carrot
WinServer: Angua
NAS: Colon
OPNSense Router: Pessimal

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)

My first server was a used Dell r420, so I named it Pyrocumulus, after clouds that form over fires or volcanoes

Moxy does some Proxy
