My current setup at home is two aging systems, one gaming PC that I usually put to sleep when not using and one 24hr server hidden away in a cupboard. Both are in need of an upgrade fairly shortly and I’m just wondering if a single system would be a viable option?...
Ah nice to see that it is actually feasible then. I imagine I’d have an even easier setup too as I intend to just use Linux with all my selfhosted software in Docker containers.
My server at the moment is anything but energy efficient. It’s an old Xenon (can’t remember the exact model) so definitely not Raspberry Pi levels of efficient. My biggest concern would be the GPU idling but it seems there are power management precautions I can take with Linux so maybe it wouldn’t be so bad.
My current server is anything but power efficient as far as I can tell. It was thrown together during lockdown from various older server components bought from eBay.
Separate server or all in one PC?
