      Next step: a home battery for night usage… (or can you compensate night usage with solar too? In that case: lucky you! (Where I live this is now impossible, so i bought a battery))

    • HP 800 G3 mini with Proxmox mainly running Home Assistant, a VM used to host docker with Jellyfin and other lightweight containers, and another VM running PiHole and PiVPN
    • Synology DS218+
    • Synology DS120J
    • AVM FritzBox 7530 Router/Modem

    Somewhere between 40 and 50W during the day, with the Synologys active depending on drive sleep status, and 23-24 at night with those shut off

    On average about 0.9 kWh per day.

    mine is ~50W and less than $3 USD a month!

    Cries in German 0.44 USD per kWh …

    Paying 27,23 USD for my 85W NAS (which I need to bring down badly …) per month. Waiting for a new bill on solar power on your balcony early 2024. Lookin into buying 800W panels and a battery. Should help bring down the operational cost tremendeously.

      I know the feeling. 0.44€ in Ireland as well. I use about 500W continuously which is probably around €150/month (we pay lower rates at night for 7 hours). This is a far cry from two years ago when I was running 800-900W at 0.17€/kWh

      Yeah I moved to the 2 NAS approach. I use a thincentre m910q as live system for frequent use and 1TB of SSD storage and my old NAS as Cold storage with 40TB, which is not that frequently used and only turned on to backup active data and retrieving data which I need again
