Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Poor "kryx".
Naming my devices after stars. Specifically stars in Ursa-Major
Desktop: alioth Laptop: alkaid Smartphone: alcor SteamDeck: dubhe Server: sarir
I Used Gondolin for my PC but after reinstalling I didn't put it back on and left the default
For my ProxMox server stuff I went with Lord of the Rings. The idea being the servers would be locations and the VMs would characters.
So right now my main server is Rivendell, and my PiHole on it is Gandalf ("You shall not pass!" Heehee eventually he'll have OPNSense too...)
If I get HomeAssistant at some point, obviously that'll be Samwise!
My Klipper VM for 3D printing is Celebrimbor, and the individual printers are named after various deities or myth figures of crafting/smithing/creativity like Brigid and Eitri.
For my client devices, I name my personal hardware after BattleTech mechs and that works well. It's intuitive because I can line up various roles and weight classes.
So my main desktop is Timberwolf, and my laptops are named after light mechs like Kitfox or Mistlynx.
Phones and tablets I don't really care about, they usually just name themselves after their model anyway. :)
pretty new setup but so far I've got
symmetra - synology dsm (nas)
junkrat - intel nuc main server
need to name my desktop/laptop now and maybe networking gear. thinking ramattra for the router and zenyatta for the bridge
I have pebble, pabble, pibble, rebble, rabble, ribble and nibble.
Though the primary server is old enough that it was from a time when I named everything after Transformers, so it's Shockwave.
I call them after what service is running on it. E.g. openvpn.
My little pony. My pihole is pinkypie, mediaserver trottingham, homeassistant is ponyville, and my backup server is canterlot. And so on... :)
References to The Dark Tower or Murakami characters.
Used to be names from Neuromancer like "ono-sendai" and variations of that.
Now laptop is "flat", server is named after it's purpose like log, mail, mon, hosting, storage, etc.
I use lore from Starcitizen (planet name, space station, satellite, etc.)
I recently de-embarrassed my hostnames. I went with names that are one step removed from being dead obvious. Feels nice having descriptive, but not uncreative, names for everything
- Custom built desktop pc: Studio
- Home theater PC: Theater
- Server: Gamut (this was Nexus until I ran into bs regarding the TLD preload list in web browsers... had to go with a non-tld name)
- Everything else: Based off the model. For example, my Asus Vivobook S 15 is just "Vivobook", etc
