I’m new to selfhosting and I find myself rarely using the server, only when I need to retrieve a document or something.
I was thinking of implementing something to make it power on, on demand, but I’m not sure if this might be harmful for the HDDs, and I’m not sure how to implment it if so.
What’s your recommendation to do so? I’m running a dell optiplex 3050
I had an optiplex 3060 micro with 8500t, 24gb ram and 2 ssds idling around 3-5watts.
That’s impressive! I have less everything, how can I know how much it takes while idle? External device?
