Traditionally, in orcharhino, we call them "managed hosts" (hosts that a user deploys/manages/configures) and "orcharhino Clients" as in "we provide repositories for all supported OS" as part of our product.
I am OK with "Clients", esp. compared to "Foreman Server" and "Smart Proxy Server", so we always know which entity we talk about.
Clients?
This is confusing, because they can be considered a server to other clients.
Managed hosts?
Managed hosts have a special meaning in Foreman. In the database there's a flag on every host for managed/unmanaged. This is shown in the Edit host page as a Manage host
or Unmanage host
. Managed hosts can be provisioned. Unmanaged hosts can still have content.
Reusing the name for a different concept is a recipe for confusion.
Servers? 👎
This is inventing a new concept and similar to Clients, can be confusing.
Hosts? 👎
This is what the UI uses all over the place and would be my vote. Otherwise documentation goes out of sync with the product.
Systems? 👎
A long time ago Katello called Hosts Systems (back when Katello was a standalone application). It was decided to align everything on Hosts.
FYI: Content Hosts is going to disappear soon-ish. probably Foreman 3.10.
Let's go with "Hosts" similar to Foreman Web UI.
