I’ve ended up with a number of machines on my network, and a need to name them all in a somewhat logical way. For several years I had them named after the planets, which worked well until the PCs for myself, my girlfriend, servers and Raspberry Pi’s quickly summed up to more than the eight planets. I’ve broadened it somewhat to include any Greek/Roman mythological figure, but the system is definitely not as clean as it used to be.
Do you have a coordinated naming theme for your machines?
All my homelab stuff is boring. Host machine names are just 'model ’ + ‘-’ + ‘increment’. VMs and containers are either service or service + increment.
Whimsical names and themes are fun, but don’t scale and I need the mental bandwidth for other things than mapping service to machine etc.
