Comment on Does "Selfhosted" mean you actually have a server at home?

  This is my little setup at the moment. Each is 8500t CPU, 32gb ram, 2tb nvme and 1tb SATA SSD all running in a proxmox cluster

    Not at all overkill? :-D

    Future proofing or is it really used ? I don’t know proxmox, is it some docker launcher thingy?

      Proxmox is like esxi, it lets you setup virtual machines. So you can fire up a virtual Linux machine and allocate it like 2gb ram and limit it to 2 cores of the CPU or give it the whole lot depending on what you need to do

      Having them in a cluster let’s them move virtual machines between the physical hardware and have complete copies so if one goes down the next can just start up

      It is a little overkill, I’m probably only using about 20% of its resources but it’s all for a good cause. I’m currently unable to work due to kidney failure but I’m working towards a transplant. If I do get a transplant and can return to work, being able to say “well this is my home setup and the various things I know how to do” looks a lot better than “I sat on my ass for the last 4 years so I’m very rusty”

      This whole setup cost me about $1000aud and uses 65-70w on average

        Hey good luck man!

        Good idea, just sitting around isn’t good for mental health either.

        So back to tech :-) is it like docker / Kubernetes but with VM right? What’s the good/bad things concerning VM Vs Docker?

        And yeah if it’s not overkill they you are morally obliged to search for ways to make it so, right :-) ?!

        Cheers

      Thanks :D the frame and all parts are self designed and 3d printed… was a fun project

      The whole thing runs from just 2 power cables with room for another without adding any extra power cables
