I have a single homebuilt "server" running Rocky Linux, with an eight-core AMD Ryzen 7, 64 GB DDR4 memory, and two 1 TB storage drives. I use KVM and QEMU to deploy VMs--I don't know enough about containers yet to feel comfortable running them as production machines.

TP-Link Archer A7 Wifi Router (16 MB flash / 128 MB RAM) running OpenWRT. That's it, that's my server. Serves Gemini, FTP, DNS ad blocking, Mumble, WireGuard, IRC, etc. My desktop runs a Celeron J4005. Do I win power consumption?

@winduptoy that’s so cool! I know about open-wrt, but does it give you ssh access? Is that how you got a Gemini server on it?

You guys are seriously inspiring me to lower my power consumption haha.

@devalexwhite yep, it's a full Linux system. It has a package manager with a lot of popular packages, but getting a Gemini server installed was a challenge. With only 16MB flash I couldn't install a compiler, and cross-compiling for MIPS with their virtual dev environment was too complicated and required something like 14GB download. Luckily, Go's cross-compile support is great and I was able to easily compile Molly Brown and copy the binary over.

I've rationalised my network recently. I have a FritzBox router with v7.50 OS, so it now runs a Wireguard VPN and a media server, and it hosts an HDD for network backups and media storage. I've Raspberry Pis for ssh, my Gemini server and PiHole DNS adblocker. All minimum power - electricity is expensive now for services operating 24 hours a day - and I have the router turn off the WiFi during the night.
