patuleia<p>In the past few days, I’ve been doing a major restructuring of my <a href="https://patuleia.eu/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a> , new LXCs and VMs, documenting all the images used, starting to use NFS instead of Samba. <br>In some applications, I started from scratch, in others, I imported data from the old machines, and so far, everything has been running smoothly. <br>But there are two old VMs I don’t dare touch, <a href="https://patuleia.eu/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeAssistant</span></a> and <a href="https://patuleia.eu/tags/OpenMediaVault" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenMediaVault</span></a> . <br>I’m dumb and very afraid of messing things up big time, if it works, don't touch it!</p>

beyondwatts<p>Some final thoughts on this thread now I have recovered from the shock of it actually working:</p><p>NUT reports an UPS run time of 24 mins. It really means 6 minutes, even though the load does not increase dramatically when scaling down.</p><p>The low battery warning /shutdown message from the UPS occurs too late so now we scale down as soon as the power goes.</p><p>The time to scale down has been reduced from 3min30sec to about a.minute by doing more in parallel.</p><p><a href="https://beyondwatts.social/tags/upsScaler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>upsScaler</span></a> <a href="https://beyondwatts.social/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a></p>

Michael<p>I'm also just generally wondering what it is with Raspberry Pis and active cooling over the last two generations. For both the 4 and 5 models, the Pi foundation was saying "definitely do active cooling", and I think for both, the official case had an active cooler.</p><p>But I've been running both without active cooling without any issue at all. Sure, it takes a nice chunk of metal to achieve this, but it's not like it's a grotesque amount. The cooler doesn't even change the footprint.</p><p><a href="https://social.mei-home.net/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeLab</span></a></p>
Michael<p>After confirming that the NVMe performs exceptionally well, next I had to have a look at cooling. I started out a bit worried, because I was seeing about 50 C at complete idle.</p><p>I've now run "stress -c 4 -t 600", confirmed that the 4 CPUs stayed at their max 2.4 GHz the entire time. At the end of the run, the temp was at 78 C, which I find very acceptable. If any of these machines actually has to run at all-core full tilt for 10 minutes, something else is wrong anyway.</p><p><a href="https://social.mei-home.net/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeLab</span></a></p>
