My name scheme is song names. I listen to allot of folk rock, so some names are hollowmoon or foxlore.

Its a little spicier than anas or pnas

I name mine after greek and roman gods.

My NAS is bamed Hestia, the goddess of the bearth and home.

My docker server is called Poseidon due to the sea iconography of docker. My second iteration of my docker server where I tried playing around with podman I called Neptune.

I briefly had a Raspberry Pi for experimenting with some stuff which was called Eileithyia, the goddess of childbirth.

My Proxmox machine on which pretty much all ky other servers are run as VMs is called Atlas, as the Titan holding up my personal network.

I also have a truenas VM which I boringly called truenas…

Mine is Final Fantasy summon monsters!

I name everything after celestial objects. Stars, galaxies, constellations, and nebula are all good sources of names. Not the ones with the random number names, stuff like Andromeda and Sirius

Is there a guide to set something like this up? I have jellyfin on Ubuntu server and I’d very much like to get something that’s got an interface I can understand.

You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen. Comet, and Cupid, and Donner, and Blitzen…

I went with a SciFi ship theme, my main server is VMS-HORIZON (Virtual Machine Ship). The VMs have ship component names like AUDIO-CORE (navidrome) and VISUAL-CORE (Immich).

My Raspberry Pi is named ORBITER, like a orbiting shuttle/satellite, and the VM it has is called BEACON (for Gotify)

Elements of the periodic table.

I’m boring. I’ll name physical hardware after the model name or manufacturer or something like that. My main host is just named “DellPVE” and then I’ll name VM/containers after the service it’s running, “radarr”, “plex”, “pihole” etc.

I personally name my servers after Rain World iterators and creatures. I fear the day when I run out of names.

I don’t have enough machines to have a scheme lol

• My gaming PC/game streaming server is “Orthanc” cause well… It’s a computer tower.
• My NAS/Plex/*arr server is “lil-nas-x”, cause it’s built out of a small form factor NAS
• My personal devices are boringly named “ModelName-ABC”, ABC replaced with my actual initials. Same for my wife’s and kids’ devices.

🤣 do you switch to elf names after the first 12?

Nice.

There are a ton of guides out there, but the problem with open source software is that you can make it as yours as you want so every deployment is different. You would be better off doing some googling on what you want to get to, and asking more specific questions. Everyone in the community loves to help, but we need to know how.

Utility mostly. My music stack vm is Music. Reversy is my reverse proxy. Photos? Yup that my immich vm. I’m boring lol
