Hello everyone,
I'm currently toying with the idea of modifying my Hobelab a bit.
Currently we have a fully equipped 16 bay QNAP on which some docker containers are running (these on SSDs, not spinners), 1x Raspi 5 for ioBroker, 1x Raspi 4 for Raspberrymatic and 2x OPNsensen on pimped Sophos hardware (Core i5, 16GB RAM).
Everything in 24/7 operation. Yep, 300W permanently - that's why I'm starting to get a knock at home.
That's why I'm considering completely virtualizing the above-mentioned systems, apart from the QNAP.
I would like to have a small home server with Proxmox VE in which the systems, especially the firewalls, are virtualized - this is where I expect most of the costs to be.
It would be important for me that the system has NVMe on which the Proxmox and the VMs are located; I would outsource everything data-intensive to the QNAP. RAM should already be 64GB so that I can outsource the Docker containers to individual Linux VMs - I'm not a fan of Docker.
I generally have a hard time choosing hardware, especially when it comes to a good mix of performance and energy efficiency. My hope is that I can enjoy the benefits of virtualization and also a bit of power savings.
I was thinking of the following hardware (shooting in the dark):
Mainboard: GIGABYTE B650M D3HP
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
RAM: Kingston FURY DIMM 64 GB DDR5-5200
PSU: be quiet! Pure Power 12M 550W
Maybe you have some tips and experiences you can share with me.
