I've got three main pieces of software/hardware I run with in my homelab today. I'm wondering if it makes sense consolidate my gaming server and where I run my web apps (docker containers) and leave my Synology solely to run as a NAS.
I currently have my gaming PC in my office, along with my MacBook Pro, connected to my ultrawide. My Ideal setup would be to 1) migrate my 24/7 server to more power efficient hardware 2) centralize my gaming server so I can connect to it from my TV, Steam Deck, or Ultrawide seamlessly and 3) slowly just get everything else off my Synology so it can be single focused on being a NAS.
I wonder if Proxmox is the tool that unlocks this ability for me. As I understand it online gaming might be problematic, as well as streaming to my 100hz ultrawide?
I can't think of an alternative that gets me environment isolation + gaming capability all while consolidating on my more power efficient hardware.
Current setup:
- Synology
Powers my NAS
Docker containers (DNS, Torrent, Plex, web apps)
- Gaming PC
Specs: Runs Windows 11, Intel 12th gen with RTX 3070
Turned on ~10% of the time. 100% for gaming either via Sunshine (to Steam deck, TV) or directly connected to my ultrawide
- Old Desktop
Specs: Runs Ubuntu Server, Intel 3th gen with integrated graphics
Runs docker containers (web apps like *arr, HA)
Thanks! The Tripp lites have been amazing to use. I think they do. They have the status Ethernet connector with two other PS/2 style connectors.
The M500 has some weird issue where it beeps 3 times, short pause, and another 3 beeps. On repeat. I’ve tried factory resetting but no dice so far. Can’t get the arm to do anything but be red.
Good to know about the 3650
