What do you suggest? It’s only intended for a few users, but I’d still like to have the most features available to the users.

You could try getting your hands on an OVH dedicated server: https://eco.ovhcloud.com/en-ie/

Can’t recognise that, but unfortunate you have had such an experience with them.

I use IONOS.

Where have you been all my life? ❤️

I installed this at my work. Became pretty popular 😎

I have an ALLPOWERS R600 hooked up to my server rack. It has built-in UPS and will switch to the battery, if the power goes.

However, I also have solar, with its own battery bank + an ATS.

I don’t have the ALLPOWERS setup to provide power from its batteri. Only in case of power failure from the house.

Shelly plug, integrated into Home Assistant.

For the whole month of November. 60kWh. This is for all my servers and network equipment. On average, it draws around 90 watt.

That’s pretty low with 4 HDD’s. One of my servers use 30 watts. Half of that is from the 2 HDD’s in it.

It’s the Allpower R600: https://iallpowers.eu/products/allpowers-r600-portable-power-station-600w-299wh-with-lifep04-battery-1?se_activity_id=185831162163&syclid=csti70imlv4s738bo1rg&utm_campaign=🔥Black+Friday+Sale%3AUp+To+€1800+OFF%2CBuy+Now+»_185831162163&utm_medium=email&utm_source=shopify_email

It does do actual passthrough and I also measure wattage directly from the outlet.

From top to bottom:

• Allpower Power Station (UPS with around 4 hours of battery)
• Unifi gateway
• Unifi switch
• Unify CloudKey (Surveillance)
• Patch panel
• 1.5U media server
• Arock Mini running stuff like my Lemmy instance and other self hosted software.

I’m planning to move my Lemmy instance to its own 1.5U.

The whole setup uses around 80-100 watts.

You guys are insane! Great work!

Funkwhale?

It’s true I want hours of playback, but in the car, it’s possible to draw up to 100 watt from the outlet and in trains you have 230 volt outlets. At least in Denmark.

On a plane, you usually only have USB, but I’m not sure I like the idea of setting up WiFi on a plane 😅

That’s great to hear. It has been around a year since I tried it out.

Your suggestion is “good enough” and what I do now, but as you say, it could be fun to make a little project out of it. Figuring out what works and what doesn’t.

Maybe I’m just bad at setting up Plex, but I have never had its download feature work properly.

But also, the storage is limited on the device, so we always end up with a very small library of media, that’s quickly consumed.
