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?
Dang, how does your isp feel about that many machines talking out to the internet, have they made you pay for business plans yet?
Lol - I’m on unlimited 1Gbps fibre here. So far, they haven’t raised any concerns.
That’s awesome, best of luck it stays that way!
i don’t think that will be an issue. with the amount of iot devices some people install that phone home there probably is no restriction in any isps contract about a device limit for private use
How many W are you pulling, on the average? Or kWh per year.
Good question. According to my UPS, I’m pulling about 173Wh for everything except my pair of HP DL360s. Those each have a couple of 480W PSUs in them, but they’re nowhere near running at full tilt, so I can’t be sure. I really should get some power measurement going…
You’re probably drawing about 400-450 W.
There are approximately 9kh in a year, so 4000kWh per year (4MWh per year)
That’s … A lot
