Idk I have cheap electricity, 7c day 6 night so I just have it on its own

[-] homelabgobrrr@alien.top 2 points 9 months ago

Currently drawing that daily… sometimes a lot more…

[-] pongpaktecha@alien.top 2 points 9 months ago

My entire server rack uses about 150wh so 24/7 it calculates out to about 11.50 USD

129kWh/month (approx $10.2)

...100% solar powered...

[-] slartibartfast2320@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Next step: a home battery for night usage... (or can you compensate night usage with solar too? In that case: lucky you! (Where I live this is now impossible, so i bought a battery))

atm im not running much since not much time to lab, just the base stack.

about 35€/mo for 650w average consumption.

[-] SirLagz@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

About 300W, ~7kWh a day, costs me about $80 AUD a month.

[-] TehSynapse0@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Please share your setup that you've used to achieve these figures. I am interested!

[-] Positive-Gazelle2603@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Is an Athlon 3000G +16GB ram and only ssd. A very basic setup. I downsized and killed my second hosy to save energy. https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/s/SQY5S8HM2b

[-] diamondsw@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Mine is sadly over an order of magnitude higher than this...

[-] JoaGamo@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

500w idle, 900w under load, 360kW/month

Costs around 13$ USD

[-] vtKSF@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

400-500W ~100$ per month.

I make nothing, I give people shit. Yay.

[-] xrogx@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Way beyond. Germany.

[-] zuzuboy981@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

UPS load - 50W average. 13¢/KW. About $4.8/month

[-] p_235615@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

My lab is around 65-70W, thats Router + Switch + Server (Ryzen 3600 + 3x 3.5"HDD)

[-] ice-h2o@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I pay 12€ a month for ~60W :(

[-] TorrentplsZOMG@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

mine is ~50W and less than $3 USD a month!

Cries in German 0.44 USD per kWh ...

Paying 27,23 USD for my 85W NAS (which I need to bring down badly ...) per month. Waiting for a new bill on solar power on your balcony early 2024. Lookin into buying 800W panels and a battery. Should help bring down the operational cost tremendeously.

[-] ConfusionSecure487@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah I moved to the 2 NAS approach. I use a thincentre m910q as live system for frequent use and 1TB of SSD storage and my old NAS as Cold storage with 40TB, which is not that frequently used and only turned on to backup active data and retrieving data which I need again

[-] pppjurac@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Bittte... Verbund Österreich :(

[-] TorrentplsZOMG@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Zeit for another Anschluß?

[-] pppjurac@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Genau!

Kleine PV ab Februar 24!

I have 0.37 euros per kWh but I am crazy enough to be using 210watts.

My last lab was 10-15kw, working on lab v2 in a new house and hoping to get that way down. No Vmax this time so fingers crossed haha

[-] Positive-Gazelle2603@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Vmax like EMC SAN? Wow I didn't know people have those in their homes hahaha good luck!

[-] GrabbenD@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

u/Positive-Gazelle2603 Specs?

[-] Positive-Gazelle2603@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/s/SQY5S8HM2b

I downsized and killed Host2. Now only host1 is an always on server.

[-] kopachke@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

17 watts. HP 800 g1

[-] Footz355@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Use a single wyze 5070 for my home server just because power usage was key, and it seems this thin client had best power use to performance to cost ratio. It uses I think around 16W on avarage.

[-] squeekymouse89@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Some specs to go alongside this would help with perspective. I'm running at 65W and have 2x 6TB spinning drives in mirror. 2 ssds for OS and a crap celeron

[-] Positive-Gazelle2603@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Mine is an Athlon 3000G with 3 drives 4TB mix of M.2 and sata SSD. No spining rust. All in ZFS mirrors. I use monitoring for telegram notifications and email to know when some drive wears out and I need a replacement.

[-] montagic@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

As a new homelaber, I am in awe of this dashboard

[-] Positive-Gazelle2603@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Wow u/SpinCharm that's a beautiful dashboard right there!

[-] 103hz@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Know what dashboard that is?

I have one server I built around a 13100f cpu. 2 3.5” hdds, 2 2.5” ssds and an nvme for boot. ~35w at normal use which runs me ~7c/day ~$24/year (upstate NY USA)

[-] BigSmols@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Kindof painful to see you paying 6 cents where I pay 39😓

[-] Gishan@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

60W 24/7 which costs about € 11,- per month

Due to high energy prices I'm barely using the server I built back in 21 (would draw an additional 100-120W). And my NAS only runs during backup. The 60W are basic networking stuff (router, switch, ...) and 3 Raspberry Pi 4B which run all of my stuff now.

[-] veerstaalbg@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

That's nice! How could you do that,plz share your set up! thanks!

[-] Positive-Gazelle2603@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Here https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/s/SQY5S8HM2b I downsized it to only host1 moved all there, now Host2 is a gaming PC and main utility pc. I shutdown or suspend it everyday. Host1 is the only alwayson server now.

Btw, the grafana + prometheus setup is very cool you can even get alerts rp ur email and phone. I'd probably do a tutorial for how to do it since grafana dpcumentation is a bit confusing at times.

55w idle ~105w high load.

[-] bimmerbars@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Currently about 3.2kw - 3.5kw on average. And $0.06/kwh USD for power.

[-] f0rc3u2@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

About 10W, as I was looking for a power efficient CPU when I bought the server. So 7kWh a month, a little bit over 2€/month.

I have been using a j5005 with 16GB Ram, 40TB attached storage (the harddrives are spun down when not in use) for the last five years and so far I never had the impression that I need to upgrade.

The Gemini lake series supports only 8GB Ram officially, but apparently up to 32GB are possible.

[-] user3872465@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

86W so about 20Euro/Month

[-] referefref@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Ops monthly cost is my daily cost.

[-] 5c044@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Mine is ~26w, two arm based SBC jetson nano and an rk3399 NanoPC T4, three laptop usb hdd, a 1gig switch and one of my mesh routers all connected to one smartplug. Running Home Assistant, Frigate, PhotoPrism, DoubleTake/Deepstack, Nginx reverse proxy.

Cost £0.27/Kwh 2470.026*0.27=£1.33 per week

[-] lxwcxuntry@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Everything running I’m sitting at 392w

[-] leftlanecop@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Son, if you’re looking at power costs you’re in the wrong sub.

/s

[-] JadedBandicoot1234@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I think your load percentage and time left plots would look better if they started at zero.

[-] audioeptesicus@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

2100 kWh/month, with the UPS reading about a 2900 W draw. Cost is $0.09/kWh. Located in Middle Tennessee.
