[–] JoaGamo@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Each slot Will have 75w. Can confirm as i'm using 2 1050 in a server

Share your homelab power usage and energy cost! mine is ~50W and less than $3 USD a month! in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

500w idle, 900w under load, 360kW/month

Costs around 13$ USD

How should I handle OS storage without disks? in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

How? Are you loading a configuration in a device plugged in each hypervisor server? Any project i should read further?

How should I handle OS storage without disks? (alien.top)
 

As i'm at a point of increasing my actual 4 server count, how should I handle storing the OS of each server?

Problem: I have no money and I'm looking for a way to buy more servers without buying and taking care of new boot ssds.

The actual setup is that each server has their own 120/240gb ssd to boot from, and one of my servers is a NAS.

at first I thought of PXE persistent boot, but how would I assign each machine their own image is one of the problems..

I've found this post talking about Disk-less persistent PXE, but it's 5 years old, it talks about SAN booting, but most people I've seen in this sub are against fiber-channel protocol, probably there's a better way?

Without mentioning speed requirements (like a full-flash NAS or 10+gbit), Is it possible to add more servers, without purchasing a dedicated boot device for each one?

Would an i3-4150 and 6GBs of memory be enough for a simple Plex and media storage server? in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

If you ever get a system that supports hardware transcoding, consider jellyfin instead of plex, transcoding has no $cost there

What drives do you all use for NAS? in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum
[–] JoaGamo@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Whatever is CMR and good enough. WD red, Ironwolf, etc

I've got a lot of random hdds, highest capacity are 4TBs ones, all in ceph nodes

How did I do? Feeling like some hardware is being underutilized. in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum
