alt Hacker NewsI have a homelab with 4x Raspberry Pi 4's running Kubernetes a GMKtec Intel i5-12450H and a ProLiant ML350p Gen8 (which uses an ungodly amount of power). I'd add the following software/tools which have been awesome:
- Portainer running on GMKtec & ProLiant
- Dozzle (docker log viewer) on GMKtec & ProLiant
- Beszel (server monitoring, awesome) all hosts
- Kubetail (Kubernetes log viewer on Pi K8s)
- HomeAssistant
- Jellyfin
- UptimeKuma (uptime and notifications)
- Semaphore UI (ansible playbook runner)
- Metabase (querying and visualization for dbs)
I've recently upgraded my ageing X8SIL Supermicro with an i5 to a X10 Sm board with a 2960 V4 14core Xeon... I was expecting a horrible power situation but it's less than 100w with a handful of spinning disks etc.
I see lots of people complaining on power with their re-used ProLiant and others etc. Is it the throttling or bios settings that messes with the idle power?
Or are you just running it at 100% and my low usage is what saves my electricity bill?
