Hi everyone,
I’ve been a single-server built from whatever desktop I upgraded for years kind of guy, with a hostname of the street it is on (better than server, which is what it used to be).
However, at some point in the future my home lab will be located in a place I will not have immediate access to, and since it’s getting on in age and due for an upgrade anyway, I’m going to build in some redundancy. So, current names:
- OPNsense micro-router:
ingress01 - OPNsense backup:
ingress02 - Cluster micro-server with essential services:
cluster01 - Cluster micro-server with non-essential services and replicated essential services:
cluster02 - NAS:
nas - Powered on remotely when needed:
- Mac mini dev/release box:
macmini - Primary remote development server (basically my old desktop):
desktop
- Mac mini dev/release box:
Bring on the Mini-MacMinifaces, and any other ideas you have.
Honestly, if you’re not going to go with descriptive names like you have now IMO you should pick something you like and pull the names. You already used streets so you could continue like that, or towns from your region. I’m an old Colorado Avalanche fan so I have Sakic, Forsburg, Roy, Foote and Borque. I would have used Hejduk but I had to look up the spelling just to write this post.
quick edit: clients are all descriptive names: rc__buggy-desktop, rc__buggy-laptop, mrs.rc__buggy-laptop, etc.
