I setup a k8s rpi cluster for this reason, and now I just have 4 overloaded pis π
I found that for my use case (jellyfin, gitea, portainer, nextcloud, adguard, ...) the pis are still nearly idle but the bottleneck for me was ram. Anyone with similar experience?
Sounds like k3s would be right up your alley, it's API compatible with k8s but has a lot less overhead than k8s, designed for use on low power devices like the Pi.
RPI: Actually dying
Me: Gitlab time
lol. Sir, I only have 4 cores and 8GB
YOU DONT KNOW ME SON
I so feel this memeβ¦ and just putting it out there that thereβs a good chance that pretty soon NUCs are likely to be deeply on sale.
I see myself in this picture, and I don't like it πππ that's why I'm running 2 pi's π photoprism, pihole, pivpn, unbound, portainer, and multiple HDD setup with cron jobs as a nas, and another pi with heimdal, pihole, pivpn. Unify controller, NUT server...... Prob forgetting some lpl, Looking to add a lot more docker containers..... So ya..... This meme got me in the feels lol
I feel you. I don't know your usecase for photoprism, but do you know immich? https://immich.app
I really appreciate you making me aware of immich!! Think I may host it on my other pi, and give it a try out, have photosprism and immich on separate pi and see which I like better π thanks!!
This is why I bought myself a server (consumer pc with 40TB) that does all that for only 1000β¬
I used an old laptop I had with a broken screen. Werks
I used to have my own server for 4 years. It was my personal compute with virtual machine and 10TB. Then I checked my electricity bill, it was so expensive I rebase everything on a single RockPro64 with a raid 1. Hardware budget is not that expensive, but you should definitly calculate how much electricty will weighs on your house budget
Shit, I just realized my NAS is less powerful than a modern Pi. It's only a dual core, 1.6GHz Atom with 1.8GB ram.
what architecture is the CPU?
X86_64 It's an Acer H340, it originally ran windows home server starting in 2009 but I switched to Debian in 2016. It has run the entire 14 years less about a week of power outages.
All you need is Lemmy.

Thin clients!
I dumped all my pis late last year and bought a $30 thin client with better specs and more io.
Am I the only person that thinks this meme doesn't make sense? Hulk's giving Antman tacos because Antman lost his tacos and would very much appreciate the generous offer.
yeah, its ironic
Can anyone tell me of I can run a Plex server and a pi hole on the new raspberry 8gig ?
yes, but I would recommend transcoding everything for direct play before putting it on the server
Im running jellyfin and pihole on a 4gb and have not encountered any issues. 8gb should be more than enough
Ok ty for the info.
Probably? I believe the pihole is pretty low resource. I have mine on a Zero.
Ty
Me in the future
Just buy another Raspberry
Why not use a full-size computer for all that stuff?

I take it you don't already have a desktop you can use?
I think they mean the power consumption. Single board pis and such sip power. Desktops are usually drawing too much at idle to leave running like a pi. i mean you can if you have cash to do that
To save money, they can go the derelict laptop route.
If they get a low tdp board, maybe like an old laptop without a battery, the power difference isn't going to be too much. Pi can pull 9W at full tilt. And an old Ultrabook with it's monitor tuned off or unplugged can probably pull 35-45W at full tilt.
So 45W - 9W = 36W
36w x 24hr x 356 = 315,360Wh
315.36kWh x 0.25 cents = 78.84 a year
But that's assuming everything is running at full speed. For something running 24/7, we can probably estimate idle state is more common. Laptops can idle about 3-4W a pi4 is also idle around 3-4W.
So 90% at 4W and 10% at 45W for the laptop
And 90% at 4W and 10% at 9W for the pi
Gives us 8.1W average for the laptop
And 4.5W for the pi
Giving us a total difference of 31.536kWh. or 7.88 additional a year.
This is also assuming the laptop has the same computational power as the pi, which isn't true, so the laptop will end up finishing tasks faster than the pi and use more power for a shorter amount of time.
Intel Speedstepping enters the room
So my old T7400 with 1000w power supply is a bad plan.
For me electricity is included in the rent. Probably why I have a beer fridge next to my couch.
