I'm running a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4gb of ram and 32gb of storage:
- pihole
- nginx proxy manager
- vaultwarden
- ntfy server
- mollysocket
- fmd server
- wireguard server
- cloudflare ddns
- my website
- watchtower
All that and load average is 0.05%, ram usage is at 450MB and disk usage at 6.4GB.
Well understood tech and still damn good math! To think, just because the newest stuff is shinny! Total junk really just for ads and video games full if unknown complications and adverse effects. All a 'furbish needs to be back in top is a good Linux soul!
Librebooting a 5yo chromebook has about the same effect if all you need is to print stuff and maybe write a few things down
My orange pi zero 3 hosting nextdns via docker:
(It's like nothing is happening at all -- under 1W power draw go brrr)
That works?!
Edit: ah I stupidly read NextCloud, which is kinda a resource beast.
For the sake of "saving" your post (even as someone who has no idea how nextcloud works)... I made a quick search regarding nextcloud and the nextcloud docs says it needs a minimum of 128MiB ram per process while they recommend 512MiB which doesn't seem that much of a resource beast at all...? It COULD work, but not as good as your typical nextcloud setup with over 10 processes or something of the sort. Probably a headless/bare metal setup with dietpi, I guess?
Then again, as I said previously... this is a totally ignorant take on saving your post, but eh... who on earth would want to run nextcloud with less than 10 processes anyways? So I'm gonna go with "Yeah it does, but you'll (eventually) want to switch to a better sbc later on."
I installed Debian 12 on my 14yo Pentium E5400 PC with 4GB RAM. I have installed on it: Pi-Hole, Jellyfin, Deluge, Grocy, Heimdall, HortusFox, Inventree, Portainer, Radicale, Speedtest Tracker, Trilium, WatchYourLan. Also have various samba shares. In the last year I have learnt a lot of server/Docker stuff, my server is not connected to Internet though. It's been fun. I have had luck watching some HD videos through Jellyfin but others totally spike processor load avg. to 20 when normal values is 0.2, lol.
May I ask what PC this is? You might be able to flash Libreboot to it and keep the firmware updated/remove Intel Management Engine entirely. Internal flashing is possible on most of these older computers, no special flashing equipment needed, just need to type a few commands in terminal basically.
Motherboard is an ASRock G31M-VS2 with a Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5400 @ 2.70GHz. If I'm not confused Libreboot would replace the BIOS firmware?
That's not bad cpu load. I was expecting you to ask why your processor is 100% all the time after listing all those services lol.
For example one of the most heavy computations are the facial recognition on Immich when new photos are uploaded, load avg. goes to 5-8, the 2 cores @100% for "few" minutes then idle again.
That makes sense.
What does VLC server do?
It streams video through your LAN network so its equivalent client can play it. The name VLC comes from Video Lan Client which was the app's original purpose.
TIL full form of "VLC" Cool and Thanks
My 3rd gen i3 laptop has: dead battery, broken screen(about 1/3 of the screen is dead), loose USB ports that work when they feel like it and a decrepit HDD that was slow even when it was new. I have it for emergencies, but I don't think it's worth rebuilding it.
Replace the HDD with an SSD and it'd probably make a decent server. You usually don't need a screen, USB ports, or battery for a server :)
Haha normal setup to run critical systems at a small business
