My homelab gives me power!!!
Oh, you're talking about electricity π about 70 Watts: (60W Proxmox server (OMV, Node Red, Domoticz, Home Assistant, and some other container that I don't even remember ππ), 6W Fujitsu Futro S720 for OPNsense and some Watts for a couple of switches).
I think I'm at 225 watts.
HP ProLiant us using 125 to 150 mostly, synology nas that consumes about 30, and I think the ubiquity stuff takes about 75 watts
Asrock X300 Mini with 2x HDD 2 TB 2,5" drives in Raid1, NVMe Samsung, 1 TB 2,5" HDD connected via USB and Zigbee gateway
Probably a lot ππ mine is an old gaming PC with a 3700x and a GTX 970, I try not to think about it. Still, cheaper than 10 streaming services.
150-180 watts up to 500 watts+ with my Dev box going full bore.
My Grafana dashboard says 81 watts at the moment. This includes a slightly beefy Intel computer running Proxmox, with a Kubernetes cluster inside, a few other small ARM servers, and my networking stack which is a router, 1 switch, 1 AP, and a modem. Also the main server is full of spinning rust disks. I haven't done much to optimize power consumption.
Avarage load for me is around 300w running two T320s, a R510, and a NUC. The T320s are clustered running plex, 'arrs, pihole/unbound, game servers, and odoo. The nuc serves two purposes, firstly to keep quorum in the cluster and secondarily as a low power device to run a secondary pihole/unbound instance incase the power goes out as it's the only server that will stay on UPS power until the battery runs out. The R510 is my storage server with around 56TB and growing.
I am planning on adding a GPU server with a few tesla P40s as I've been using my workstation for these tasks which makes it difficult to use it for work.
About 70 W for opnsense on a thin client, an Atom Proxmox and fanless 24 port switch. North of 6 kW if I fire up everything.
About 45W for my router, fiber endpoint, switch, three wireless APs and a Pi4 running Home Assistant. I've got a synology running separately that I suspect uses more, but I haven't measured it recently. Thinking about putting the synology in the crawlspace as it's kinda loud.
What's the recommended way to measure power consumption? Any instrument in particular?
25w pc with 3 SSDs and idk how much w for rpi running 2nd pihole
I downgraded recently and is now down to about 50 watt. My earlier server used 100+ watt, but the new one only 20 watt. Iβm still considering downgrading my router as it is pretty overkill.
Hmm according to homeassistant my Rack+PC consumed precisely this much over the last day (graph from homeassistant). I have been trying to minimize power consumption through more efficient hardware, but you can only go so far without making big sacrifices.
