Lenovo refers to the form factor as “Tiny”

-1 because of Qlocker

~25W which consists of:

• Mini PC
  • Lenovo Thinkcentre M700 Tiny
  • i5-6500T
  • 8GB DDR4
  • 500GB SSD
• External USB 3.5" enclosure
  • 2 x 2 TB HDD
• Network switch
  • 4 Ports Gigabit

I’ve been thinking about upgrading because the CPU isn’t that fast, the RAM ain’t that much and I want to add a few more HDD’s. I’ve seen a pretty interesting Lenovo P520 with 64GB RAM a CPU that’s 3x times as fast and room for 6 HDD’s for €350, but the power consumption I can see online (80W) isn’t that appealing with European electricity prices.

And consider adding a timeout, or else all your devices will take and additional 2 minutes to boot if the server is offline and the mount fails.

Cockpit, Cosmos Cloud, Portainer, Grafana, and a few other things. It’s not the most optimal solution but it kinda of works for now.

There are several options:

• Create a systemd service

+: Can launch application without logging in

-: Requires learning how to add a systemd service

• Autostart application on startup

+: Easy

-: Requires logging in before it starts

• Use system Docker container

+: Quite easy

-: Works without logging in

• Use Podman container with systemd-service

+: Doesn’t require root permissions

I recommend going with Docker because Flatpak isn’t really meant for server applications.

Perhaps you could also add the mounts as dependencies to the Docker daemon.

lspci looks fine, I don’t see anything strange.

I usually just use dd to check write speeds.

The N100 only has 9 gen 3 PCI lanes. The board has 4 USB ports (2 x 3.0), 4 2.5G ethernet ports, 2 m.2 slots and 6 SATA connections. They might be using a PCI splitter chip to connect all components, which depending on the type and how it’s used could have a big effect on I/O performance.

EDIT: The N5015 from your previous board only has 8 lanes. What was your max read/write speed on it and did you see anything strange in lspci?

Debian.

I’ve been using them for at least several months and never had an issue

Because I don’t want to expose my home IP.

So no reliability issues with the rclone backend then?

Have you ever used Restic before?

Why did you choose this option instead of directly syncing it with restic’s rclone backend?

R2 is $0.015/GB, B2 is $0.005/GB and it also has free egress when put behind cloudflare.

Cool concept but it doesn’t seem practically viable.

Thanks. I haven’t measured the amount of watts yet (I will soon) but online people mention the i5-6500T using 8W at idle. That would be about €30/y and is indeed a lot higher than a couple pennies.

Interesting solution. How did you connect it? PCIe?
