Depending on how much you self host, you may find it hard to keep track of your devices’ host names. So what are your naming conventions to keep track everything? Some people stick to descriptive names, others pick themes, like Greek mythology.
Personally, I use Japanese emperors. I’ve made it all the way to Seinei. Luckily I still have some breathing room to add more services and servers. Much to my wife’s chagrin. :)
I’m very uncreative, I name things by role and then enumerate.
Nothing wrong with practical. I’ll often name a VM by what service is going on to it as a temporary measure until I’m sure it’s going to work out and give it its final name.
