Lemmings, what's your self hosted server power usage?

verstra@programming.dev to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 25 points –

I'll just come out and say it: 50W. I know, I know an order of magnitude above what's actually needed to host websites, media center and image gallery.

But it is a computer I had on-hand and which would be turned on a quarter of the day anyway. And these 50W also warm my home, although this is less efficient than the heat pump, of course.

What's your usage? What do you host?

Is that 370watt across all of them or per fat server? I ask because three m5 sound like a lot of power drain!.

And thanks for sharing!

That's for everything listed above. This is measured straight from my UPS which everything is connected to.
