For the containers, do you mean mounting them to a NAS? I already have them mounted locally on the VM so the files are easy to grab there, but I've never thought about mounting them on a NAS. I'll have to give that a think
Veeam WAS quite RAM heavy when it used Microsoft SQL, but they have updated it to PostgreSQL which has helped, and Veeam for Microsoft 365 uses a fair chunk too. But the reason it actually has 10GB of RAM is that it seems when restoring files through the Arq application, it caches to RAM, and having more RAM makes it much faster. I could probably move it down to 8GB no issue
Keep in mind that most of those containers are very light and are not really "Doing" anything, unlike everything in the Backup VM
Its not quite as green as that right now, since we have a pretty bad drought here in Houston, but it will come back.
I had to make the small fence as it just kept trying to spread out. The fence is made from scrap 2x4's ripped down the middle to make 2x2's, and the rails are old scrap cedar pickets pressure washed and ripped down
Its really disturbing how whiney Europeans (I assume you are) are with their superiority complexes.
I don't even know why I'm replying to you, but here we go
So I should ditch all this and rely on cloud services I guess. Cloud services are hosted in magic land where they don't use any power, right? If you use any cloud services, you are just as bad as me.
I have 17kw of solar on the roof. As we type this, I'm exporting 10kw of power back to the grid. I generate enough solar to completely cover all of my electricity usage, and during the night when I'm pulling from the grid, my power plan is sourced 100% from wind or solar.
All of this is my hobby, but also helps me learn skills for my job. That job is 100% work from home, which means I don't drive pretty much at all. I'm sorry my F150 offends you, which has less than 10,000 miles on the clock despite being 5 years old. That same F150 also gets better miles per gallon than a lot of regular cars on the road. My wifes Ford Escape (A compact "SUV" if you can call it that" gets worse milage than my truck. But I'm sure if you saw a Ford Escape, you'd be fine with it right?
Where in the post did I say how much power all this uses? You said "power... so much power" yet you don't even know how much power it uses...
I won't even go into detail how I've removed over 1000sqft of concrete on my property, how I've planted an 800sqft native wildflower meadow, have a bat house, use rainwater for plants, etc etc. But no I'm just such a terrible American. Grow up.
The reason its arranged like that is because it started as 1 switch and 1 patch panel, and slowly evolved, so its not ideal, but I am fairly happy with the outcome
If I could re-rack it all, I might make some changes. But that means turning everything off, and I'm not sure when, if ever, I want to do that
>My homelab is a mess of cables, and half-baked deployments running on old Supermicro and custom servers, that is way too noisy, and probably pulls a lot of power.
Yeah, the price on this genset I think has gone up around $4000 since I bought it, not including the install
I've been meaning to try Proxmox, but my day job heavily relies on ESXi, so its nice having something to mess with at home. I am also running vSphere with an Enterprise licence, so I get all the fancy stuff
Don't ask me why /media, I think I read a guide about 10 years ago for something in Linux that used /media and now I just default to that
