I have WAY too many servers to bother with names. They are either product or function, always with a number.

7 u/PssyGotWifi 7d ago That's what Ansible/Terraform and NetBox are for. 0 u/smokingcrater 6d ago I use ansible and netbox extensively, still easier to use logical names. Probably a carryover from my day job, with thousands of vm's. Naming conventions carry value. 1 u/PssyGotWifi 6d ago Are you running UnRaid bare metal or as VMs in Proxmox? (Out of curiosity) Yeah, I'm enjoying using Netbox as an inventory source for Ansible.
