Same been using computers my whole life so self hosting was just gonna be apart of it.

Yeah my server is loud af so I moved it to the basement. Easiest way to grt internet down there was through existing coax. Got full 2.5gbe through it

5950x in an matx board with 15 x 3.5in drives 1 x sata sad 1 x optane u.2 drive (pulls like 10watts) 1 x Nvidia A2000 1 x Lsi 9305 16i 1 x 2.5gbe intel nic 3 x 140 mm fans at full tilt

Runs at like 120 watts at idle, like 220 watts with a good amount of work and peaks at like 320 watts if I make it do a lot of work

Yeah whatever I’m doing is bad, 5800x in 65w eco mode and asrock pro4m “idles”(all hdds spun down) at like 150watts. I run like 20 dockers on it so I don’t think it ever really idles

I run the steam headless docker, using dockers you don’t have to pass through a gpu so Jellyfin can still use it for transcoding aswell. Or like you said you can go the other way and put them both in a vm

Damn 10watts? My server has a 5800x in it(my old cpu) and I have never seen the system pull less than 130watts

Basically just an easier way to get a tunnel into your server, instead of having to configure a reverse proxy or manage certs. I just have the cloud flared docker installed, then on their site under the tunnels section I just assign whatever domains or subdomains to all my services via a local ip address. Im doing a couple things that definitely break TOS lol. But imma let it ride till they stop me then I guess I’ll switch to a reverse proxy
