Selfhosters what is the power draw of your entire setup? And have you done anything special to manage it you’d like to share?

Including all network equipment I use around 110kWh of good ol’ 120V 60Hz USA juice per month. Averaging about 215 watts of power draw for my systems. Nothing amazing, but I like to think that it’s a conservative setup for everything I accomplish with it. I’m paying around $25 a month for my setup. None of that includes my work PC or personal PC, just hosting infrastructure.

Other than trying to make sure all power states are available on my server I haven’t done a lot of power conservation.

I’m curious what you all have.

    65W for

    • two Lenovo tiny proxmox nodes, each with nvme + SATA SSD + second NIC
    • two switches (5/8 port)
    • PCengine APU running OpnSense
    • Raspi4 with Zigbee antenna
    • Mini PC + JBOD (4 SSD in total)
    • Small OpenDTU device

    Keeping power consumption low was my design goal, but I eventually added the secondary NICs and additional switch for Proxmox replication and management traffic.
