May 25, 20233 yr Just assembled a week ago - in process to be filled - all system idle at 65W - 180-190W on full throttle - 5950X limited to max 85W from bios Edited May 25, 20233 yr by mokopoko
June 3, 20233 yr 32GB. I am running a lot of dockers and a few demanding VMs including my Internet gateway and Home Assistant installation
October 27, 20232 yr main server has 8GB (one small VM and one small docker), RAM never was an issue yet. backup server has 2GB (cannot be updated), but still manages one small docker. I use the swapfile plugin here.
November 17, 20232 yr On my tiny barely branded chinese mobo with 16gb non EEC RAM as the unraid instance is for convenience rather than data security.
December 27, 20232 yr NAS #1 : 96GB DDR4 (4x16gb + 4x8gb ) x99 motherboard max 128gb NAS #2 : 64GB DDR4 (8x8gb ) x99 motherboard max 128gb NAS #3 : 256GB DDR4 ECC (8x32gb ) quanta supermicro motherboard max 1 TB
January 8, 20242 yr 128GB DDR4 Multi ECC Will be upgrading to 128GB DDR5 or DDR5 ECC as soon as someone makes a right angle AMD board that isn't crap, and supports bifurcation for all the breakouts I want. I run 1-3 VMs, and I would use only 64 Gigs, but I like using the overhead as cache for transcode or other experimental nonsense without wear and tear on SSDs. Additionally, I keep my appdata on a separate optane AIC cache drive which does not transit files, so I can beat up my dockers as much as I want. THAAAAAANK you so much for allowing multiple uses for cache drives.
February 21, 20242 yr I have 16gb on a 5 drive setup (3 array, 1 cache and one for installs) I run pretty much the full arr suite, about 15 dockers, jellyfin with both friends and family using it, lots of home automation and sometimes a lightweight linux vm and i think i have yet to break 10gb.
March 12, 20242 yr 16 GB min for any server. Min spec I try to follow 2> to get off ground 4> docker(1-2GB each) / lxc system 4 eac > vm
April 8, 20242 yr Changed my system to a newer 13th gen from 11th gen for power efficiency. Only has 2 RAM slots so went from 128GB down to 64GB. Still plenty!
October 9, 20241 yr Apps/Services system: 192GB NAS+ system: 64GB Edge Router/Firewall: 32GB Home Automation: 32GB Backup NAS: 16GB Edited October 9, 20241 yr by Espressomatic
October 11, 20241 yr Usually 64GB as 4x16gb 3200mhz modules running at a slightly derated 3000.. but at the moment it's 48gb as i had to pull one 32G set for a temporary build and stuck in a mismatched 2x8gb set.. configured the ram down to 2666 to account for the mismatch and it booted right up no issue. supposed to be temporary.. but you know how these things work out. they could be in there for months.
December 3, 20241 yr 64gb, eventually 128gb as I have a ton of stuff running. I am certainly fully utilizing Unraid 😎
February 3, 20251 yr 4GB - Some basic scripts, no VM's, no Docker. My loyal companion for 10 years straight now. Looking at some of the above configs, feels like some guys are running data center level hardware 😄
