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?

    My Synology is named Atlas because it’s my main file storage box (and has a most of my services running on it).

    My VPS is called Aurora after the atmospheric phenomenon because cloud server.

    And my little laptop I installed a server Linux distro on is called Challenger because I find it challenging to work with Fedora Server sometimes
