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?

    For reference: Using dual E5-2630L, DL360/380G8 uses around 130-150 watts average unless something is spiking.

    With a couple Cisco routers, 4 HP server, adds about 150 dollars to my monthly bill. This wouldn’t be possible in Europe.

      My current supplier rate is about 0.6 EUR/kWh. I make some 1/2 to 2/3 of my power myself, for a price that’s less than half of that.

        make some 1/2 to 2/3 of my power myself I’d have to :) That’s .66c US per. Mine is .11-12 US / .10 EUR. Mine is 6 times cheaper. `Merica

        Insert rant about our power is probably a large percentage of coal and gas (cheap + super bad)
