That's why my HAOS instance runs on bare metal ๐ (Lenovo M710q, G4560T, 4GB RAM)
Yeahh probably the smart move, I went ham acquiring some overkill hardware for relatively cheap, and now the power bill is making that evident ๐ซ
It has been fun playing with a setup like this, but you definitely don't need 128gb RAM to run the measly services I've got, though game servers would be a blast.. if I ever had time
What would you even run on that beast?
I got a frankensteined mini PC with an old 2-core CPU, 8GB DDR3 RAM and 24TB HDD +500GB SSD(cache), running my entire homelab (HAss, Jellyfin+arr suite, Adguard-home, ..), works really well. Recently put an old 1060GTX GPU in there, when my flatmate upgraded her PC. I really don't see why I would need more (unless I planned to run LLMs in any reasonable fashion)
I'm slowly converting everything to run on these little 1 liter PCs. I have three so far (four if you count the Mac Mini NAS), and an Optiplex 7050 SFF that's been a bit hotrodded with a 300W XE3 PSU, Precision 3420 CPU cooler, & Noctua fans w/extra intake fan.
I like the Optiplex for obvious reasons, but it's a bit of a power hog with the i7-7700 and 48GB RAM. I haven't measured them individually, but if I had to guess, the Optiplex probably accounts for a solid 1/3 of the power usage in my entire homelab.
