I live in an area where power outages are pretty rare but, I decided to get a UPS for my network equipment, NAS, and mini pc proxmox cluster. I’ve got it physically deployed and over the weekend set up NUT server but didn’t get the time to set up the NUT clients. Early this morning the power went out and my gf woke me up about 25 minutes after it went off. I scrambled to grab my phone and ssh into my equipment to safely shut it down. I was successfully able to shut everything down and just when I got out of bed to physically turn off the UPS, it ran out of juice and powered off.

I was honestly shocked it was able to power 2 mini pcs, a pi4, a 4 bay NAS, my poe switches and 3 APs for about 30 minutes before it shut down with 5% battery left. It’s only an Amazon basics 450w unit that I got for $60 but it far exceeded my expectations. Now I need to finish setting up the NUT clients so I don’t have to scramble with terminus at 4am lol

Also it’s times like these that I appreciate when the universe makes a purchase decision worth it. Even my gf was impressed that wifi was still working while the power out.

Anyone else have a success story from a new equipment addition or a sign reminding you to finish a project?

Boss gave me a VM to ssh into and told me to have a go at it. Was able to spin it up after a couple hours. Nothing complicated thankfully had a docker compose. Just glad I was able to use my homelab experience! Feels good.

I'm building a home server for the first time in order to replace an absolutely ancient ReadyNAS Duo and gain access to a variety of new apps through Unraid, whilst trying to keep the budget as keen as possible. I'm basing it on a HP Elitedesk G800 G5 which only has two 3.5" bays (although there is a 2.5" for future expansion if it came to that) so I'm looking for at least 12TB for each drive, which has led me to used HDDs to keep the costs down. I've found this seller on eBay:

https://ebay.us/m/egOwck

Aside from the standard risks of buying used, these Exos drives seem well liked, helium filled etc. There's no warranty with Seagate because they're Dell branded but that seems like a gamble with used anyway. If they've been used for less than 6 months that's a max of 4500 uptime hours which seems decent. Seller has good feedback. Am I missing something obvious? I've been researching like a madman for the last week or so but I'm new to this. I guess I would question where someone is getting large quantities of lightly used server drives to resell unless there was a problem?

Edit: I should add I'm in the UK and we don't seem to have a lot of good options for well-known refurbishers

Basically the title, is there any service that you could run on your Compute (single node or cluster), but you choose to run it directly on your Router or NAS? Assuming the Compute has similar capabilities, as in its not lacking a dGPU, Coral TPU, Multi-Gig networking, or something of the like. Also assuming that you have all three roles in your lab.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and reasons!
