100W or so.
- ISP Fiber ONT
- Opnsense box (Optiplex SFF, i5-4570)
- 24 port switch
- Server (HP MT, i5-7500) with 2x SSD, 2x SAS HDD
- Server (Moderro IEC-4660, i3-7100u) with SSD, 2x USB HDD for backups
25w pc with 3 SSDs and idk how much w for rpi running 2nd pihole
Currently my UPS is reporting 207 watts, that’s with a unraid server (3600 + 32GB ram + 2060 super for plex, and 6 drives), a mini pc for pf sense, a rpi 4 running pihole and vpn server, a single poe ap, a modem, and security cameras… it can spike to 250w with multiple encodes going on from family … but overall not bad… I did have a dedicated 20A switch installed for just my network closet as well
About 70 W for opnsense on a thin client, an Atom Proxmox and fanless 24 port switch. North of 6 kW if I fire up everything.
I downgraded recently and is now down to about 50 watt. My earlier server used 100+ watt, but the new one only 20 watt. I’m still considering downgrading my router as it is pretty overkill.
My homelab gives me power!!!
Oh, you're talking about electricity 😁 about 70 Watts: (60W Proxmox server (OMV, Node Red, Domoticz, Home Assistant, and some other container that I don't even remember 🙈😆), 6W Fujitsu Futro S720 for OPNsense and some Watts for a couple of switches).
Probably a lot 😭😭 mine is an old gaming PC with a 3700x and a GTX 970, I try not to think about it. Still, cheaper than 10 streaming services.
I'm a simple man with a pi4 for my docker containers, one switch, so not much compared to my PC.
Would probably get a second pi4 if I need more resources.

My Grafana dashboard says 81 watts at the moment. This includes a slightly beefy Intel computer running Proxmox, with a Kubernetes cluster inside, a few other small ARM servers, and my networking stack which is a router, 1 switch, 1 AP, and a modem. Also the main server is full of spinning rust disks. I haven't done much to optimize power consumption.
What's the recommended way to measure power consumption? Any instrument in particular?
@humanreader @hungover_pilot @selfhosted Most folks I know use a KILL A WATT.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
Hmm according to homeassistant my Rack+PC consumed precisely this much over the last day (graph from homeassistant). I have been trying to minimize power consumption through more efficient hardware, but you can only go so far without making big sacrifices.
