Selfhosters what is the power draw of your entire setup? And have you done anything special to manage it you’d like to share?
Including all network equipment I use around 110kWh of good ol’ 120V 60Hz USA juice per month. Averaging about 215 watts of power draw for my systems. Nothing amazing, but I like to think that it’s a conservative setup for everything I accomplish with it. I’m paying around $25 a month for my setup. None of that includes my work PC or personal PC, just hosting infrastructure.
Other than trying to make sure all power states are available on my server I haven’t done a lot of power conservation.
I’m curious what you all have.


So, averaging about 193W last month, that seems alright. What kind of hardware are you running?
Rack mount synology bad, tplink Omada switch, wireless access point, rack fans, and a rack mount nutanix server repurposed as proxmox, but it’s only drawing on the IPMI as I’ve powered it down and moved any services over to containers on the NAS.
