Dont some bigger servers come with an onboard sbc for management and stuff (eg. Dell’s idrac)?

Incus, all services running in lxc. Ansible and templates to run startup stuff for new containers (ssh keys, etc). My docker setup is primitive, I regressed down to individual containers for each with docker compose. It’s so trivial to restore last night’s lxc backup that k3s/k8s doesn’t really help me. Intact, i’ve been simplifying everything to suit my use, including hardware.

- wanderer for GPS track mgmt on “big screen”. I track my GPS trails and drives as a hobby. I’d love a self-hosted comaps web client, but I can’t really find one. :(
Plus lots of transient trials that come and go with interest. Rotating 7 day/4 week/3 months backups by NFS with pruning, includes snapshots, but I set expires on these.
This is running on 2x minipcs with 48GB ram each, but they are way overkill. I just received a mini itx i5 board, which will house all of the containers, save VPN and 1x DNS, which I will run on an SBC.
So I’m going down from 2x servers + 1 NFS nas to one 1u server for everything plus one SBC so I can reboot it.
Power consumption is king factor for me now.

Yeah. I have a dell r430 sitting unused and a supermicro xeon-d board, both have a BMC.
It’s really nice to have, but server stuff is expensive and power hungry.
Plus, I’ve shifted my way of looking at the setup where I’d rather it just default to starting back up properly. Even if I have a failed disk, if I’m away there’s nothing incan do about it until I’m physically back.
I’m almost 30yrs in it/devops/infosec and I’m no longer interested in owning an excavator just because I can.
Buage_@piefed.social 12 hours ago Wow that’s a lot of things!

To me, it’s a good stack. A lot of ppl have lower numbers than this, but then they set up a VM with docker and just run 12 extra things there. :P

What would you suggest for a prowlarr replacement when you get rid of it? And what would be the reason for getting rid of it? Just curious since I use prowlarr.

I initially set it up because bothbsonarr and radarr were making their own api calls to indexers and I would get some “daily max exceeded” for certain sites. The idea was that if one host made the calls instead of 2, I wouldn’t get rate limited as much.
Now I only have my nzb and pb indexers, the first has no such limits because I pay for it, and the second is only used as a second priority, so I don’t really hit limits anymore.
If you have a bunch of arr services, this is useful. But I only have the two, so I don’t think it’s much work to set indexers up individually.

Ahhh ok. I mainly just run lidarr, sonarr and radarr. I do pay for an nzb subscription as well, so yeah dont really need prowlarr for that. I do use torrents as well though. I’ll probably keep prowlarr as is at least for now as its all setup and stays out of the way. Thanks for answering.
