    I run multiple VMs across a couple proxmox hosts and have a kubernetes cluster by them. Works great, very flexible and can move pods or VMs around as needed. I don’t use ceph though but nfs rather

  • Have a couple nvidia cards for transcoding and thinking about getting an arc for AV1 and to start playing around with it. Linux system primarily, pass through for Proxmox ideally. Any reason not to get one where it won’t work for these reasons? Anyone messing with one in a similar environment?

    Get an Intel cpu with iGPU (most do) and you’ll be good to go for anything that you’re doing there.

    How did you get that synology to let you use them as storage drives? I thought any nvme was cached only except for their new 23 model. I’d love to be able to do this on a 2422 if possible

    I have these exact drives and have them on an ASUS card passed through to true NAS then formatted as 2 mirrored pairs. I throw all my container database and transcode and such volumes on there

    Grab a Lenovo P360 Ultra off eBay. Amazing little computer with a lot of expandability in a sexy little chassis. Mini powerhouse.

    I have bind mounts to nfs shares that are backed my zfs pools and last snapshots and sync jobs to another storage device. All containers are ephemeral.

  • So ive never really paid attention to the power I consume running various servers over the years but now that ive cleaned up and consolidated im trying to gauge my power draw compared to others. I run a Proxmox host with 13 HDDs, 6 NVMe drives and 2 U2 NVME drives, a Quattro P2200, RTX A2000, RTX 4070, Epyc CPU, HBA for HDDs, NVMe Card 4x4. A Synology 2422 with 4SSD, 2 HDDs A Synology expansion with 8 HDDs I run about 500 watts off the wall for all this stuff and I think this is the lower end as I wasn't using the GPUs. That includes a couple switches as well. Very silent runs very cool. What do other people consume? ​ ​
