Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

It doesn't quite say that, but I think the meaning is essentially the same: "Don't choose a name after a project unique to that machine." - RFC 1178
For my homelab, I think that's fine to do. I'm unlikely to have multiple Plex servers locally, for example, and if so, numerically naming them is fine - I provision with Ansible, and if I'm at the point where I'm having sequentially numbered hosts, they'll be configured as cattle anyway. Also, having the names reflect the services a host provides makes it easier to match in my playbooks.
I think it's a better scheme than turning to mythology, fiction, or animal species, which oddly enough RFC 1178 does encourage you to do.
