I just spent a good chunk of today migrating some services onto new docker containers in Proxmox LXCs.

As I was updating my network diagram, I was struck by just how many services, hosts, and LXCs I’m running, so counted everything up.

  • 116 docker containers
    • Running on 25 docker hosts
    • 50 are the same on each docker host - Watchtower and Portainer agent
  • 38 Proxmox LXCs (19 are docker hosts)
  • 8 physical servers
  • 7 VLANs
  • 5 SSIDs
  • 2 NASes

So, it got me wondering about the size of other people’s homelabs. What are your stats?

    A single SFF desktop setup in a Node306. 2700x, 32 GB RAM, Arc A380, some WD reds.

    • Homeassistant & associated packages for esphome and Zwave stuff
    • Jellyfin
    • *arr suite + transmission
    • yacht
    • uptimekuma
    • paperless
    • immich
    • authelia with OIDC SSO for containers where possible
    • traefik for reverse proxy
    • Nexcloud
    • valheim server
    • boinc in the winter
    • syncthing for phone sync
    • more services for keeping up the others

    Soon a pihole to come.

    I want to expand my smart home setup. My project this spring is integrating my smart gas and electric meters into homeassistant. We are completely stripping the house so I am wiring up everything with KNX with a nee Zwave devices where needed. Greatly expanding the smartish home.

    I also have to set up a proper network. Right now I am using my Proximus Internet Box from the ISP which admittedly is pretty customizable.

      boinc in the winter

      Lol. I really doubt an extra Watt or two during winter helps, and probably not saving much than just running it the whole year.

      Good post though

        No, I (respectfully) disagree… When I had a tower PC under my desk, I upped Boinc to use ~50% idle CPU (from memory… might’ve been more) and that would just keep the chill off my office so that I didn’t need to heat it (unless it was really cold).

        In the Summer I would drop Boinc down to ~25% as it was getting too hot in there.

        Well, considering going from a 40W idle system to 80 to 100W is a >100% increase in power.

        In Belgium we pay 0.30€ per kWh, so running the entire year at 80W average is approximately 150€ difference with idle the entire year. That definitely helps. That is 1/3 the cost of a lawnmower or a month of groceries.

        But in the winter it is a 80-100W small heater that can keep a local area a degree or so warmer.

        When you start paying your own power bill it really adds up. I wish I had gone for an intel NUC sometimes.
