What are your homelab stats? (reddrefuge.com)

I just spent a good chunk of today migrating some services onto new docker containers in Proxmox LXCs.

As I was updating my network diagram, I was struck by just how many services, hosts, and LXCs I'm running, so counted everything up.

  • 116 docker containers
    • Running on 25 docker hosts
    • 50 are the same on each docker host - Watchtower and Portainer agent
  • 38 Proxmox LXCs (19 are docker hosts)
  • 8 physical servers
  • 7 VLANs
  • 5 SSIDs
  • 2 NASes

So, it got me wondering about the size of other people's homelabs. What are your stats?

How many W are you pulling, on the average? Or kWh per year.

For reference: Using dual E5-2630L, DL360/380G8 uses around 130-150 watts average unless something is spiking.

With a couple Cisco routers, 4 HP server, adds about 150 dollars to my monthly bill. This wouldn't be possible in Europe.

My current supplier rate is about 0.6 EUR/kWh. I make some 1/2 to 2/3 of my power myself, for a price that's less than half of that.

make some 1/2 to 2/3 of my power myself I'd have to :) That's .66c US per. Mine is .11-12 US / .10 EUR. Mine is 6 times cheaper. `Merica

Insert rant about our power is probably a large percentage of coal and gas (cheap + super bad)

Good question. According to my UPS, I'm pulling about 173Wh for everything except my pair of HP DL360s. Those each have a couple of 480W PSUs in them, but they're nowhere near running at full tilt, so I can't be sure. I really should get some power measurement going...

You're probably drawing about 400-450 W.

Yeah, seems about right. I'm planning on buying a 32RU rack in the new year - will fit it out with power monitoring PDUs while I'm at it.
