Do you poweroff your server during night / unused times? (f)

I believe this is a slightly controversial topic, at least from what I have gathered so far. Some say its best to leave the server on to spare the life time of the spinning rust. Other seem to prefer to save power and boot the server off each night. So wanted to chip in and hear what folks here do and why do what you do....

I let my production systems (1x NAS/1x Proxmox Host) on 24/7 and shut down test systems or my onside backup. I do it mainly to save some power and also noise, because all servers are in my office room. I would prefere some low power/noise machines that can keep running 24/7 and if you really need some horse power because you would want to test something or play around, you can power it on and shut down whenever you want.

But I dont use any UPS, because the power grid is very stable where I live but I have snapshots every hour or so. I can live with an hour of data loss if shit hits the fan.

I’ve had the same question when I wanted to seperate my homelab network from my normal network that is also used by my girlfriend.

I tested a MikroTik router from a friend, but it was too deep for me. Ubiquity was too expensive since I was on a budget, so I got a TP-Link Omada Router and PoE Switch, which has a more user friendly UI than MikroTik. Maybe not as nice as Ubiquity but good enough for my needs and some more features than my ISP router.

What's your server wattage?

I’m in the process of wiring a home before moving in and getting excited about running 10g from my server to the computer. Then I see 25g gear isn’t that much more expensive so I might was well run at least one fiber line. But what kind of three node ceph monster will it take to make use of any of this bandwidth (plus run...

Around 100 Watts for

  • NAS with 4x3.5" HDD,
  • Minisforum HM90 for Proxmox with 2x2.5" HDDs,
  • 16 Port TP Link PoE Switch,
  • TP Link router
  • 2x Raspberry Pi 4b

But everything with gigabit speed. Doesnt need more at home

Inside the bottom tray you have two cutouts in order to put two 2.5" HDDs/SSDs in
