I don't understand the need for multiple PCs. Why not run everything from one or two?
well you have all 9 running then same thing, but if there's ever a disagreement, you have them vote...
that's why you always need an odd number of them
I have 2 small Dell micros and truenas+qdevice. I have two full replacements of those Dell micros just sitting powered off.
One proxmox Dell is for production. Reverse proxy+outward facing services. The other Dell is for dev/internal shit that i can break and rollback and not care. One is set to run until the UPS is almost dead, other one shuts down almost immediately.
It's just nice to have the options and the power draw is negligent.
I'm also very curious about this!
