This is fantastic. Thank you. I’ll probably get a low powered quadro then.

Or maybe is Radeon Pro better?

How can a consumer GPu be used across multiple VMs?

Sorry if it’s a dumb question. I’ve never messed with GPUs. 90% of the things I do is headless and through CLI.

Should I get a GPU that supports vGPUs or you mean like a GPU passthrough to the VM?

Everything is wired in my house so thankfully it’s pretty fast.

It’s really simple. Hardly use it for any heavy lifting.

I use Proxmox to play with VMs and Open Media Vault on top to be my NAS.

I’ve done RDP, but figured that it could only be done on desktop.

How the fuck did you do that?

This looks amazing. I’m going to try it out

I was thinking of doing that, but I don’t think it would handle attachments gracefully. I also don’t want to inflate it to a 100gb document with all of the attachments.

I would imagine poor upload speeds would really make it difficult.

Also Plex doesn’t direct play outside the LAN. (I think) so encoding could also pose an issue.

Proxmox, Openmediavault, Ubuntu Server. Mostly because I’m lazy and I grew up using Ubuntu.

Just so you know

R5 5700G

128GB ram

2 x 20TB disks

2 x 4tb NVMe

Idles at about 60w.

You should look into the RTX 6000 or higher to utilize vGPUs.

Here’s the full list.

Not fully supported but it’s possible.

And also get into proxmox. You can pass through part of your GPU into a “desktop” environment and also have another VM(s) running in the background. That way you can use your computer as normal with a type 1 hypervisor in the background.

Also get a mobo with 2 NICs. The fewer pcie cards you have the lower power draw.

My NVMe idle at 7w and my HDDs idle at about 15w I think. 45w is just for storage.

You got a friend to host with?

I have an off site backup with a friend, but I’ve never tried streaming from them.
