  • All in one’s advantage is fewer points of failure, lower power consumption, and ease of troubleshooting. Disadvantage, something breaks, everything’s down.

    Duo setup: more power, more points of failure, typically they’ll end up intertwined and dependant on each other, so if one goes down they’re both likely down. You usually need more hardware for High Availability.

    I’d go either all in one with the best hardware, or go with what the other commentor said and have one be prod and the other dev.

    When I built my NAS I intentionally bought the latest gen cpu, but kept it in to the 65W series with a GPU chip onboard. It’s an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 6-Core @ 3800 MHz. My coral usb does frigate and the integrated graphics chip does jellyfin just fine. I started with ssds, but half of them burned out pretty quick, so I replaced them with spinning rust. But, as-is it can run for an hour on my desktop grade UPS before it shuts down. My proxmox cluster is old laptops that mount an NFS drive from my NAS. So, yes, I took power efficiency into account.


  • One thing you may want to consider, amazon and others do free tier instances. You can get a free EC2 instance, throw hugo on that and set it up for serving your text sites. Benefit being, if you mess something up and it gets hacked or compromised, it’s not infecting your home network. They’re about as powerful as an old pi.

    If you’re just serving static html, you can also serve that up straight from a bucket. Which makes backup/failover very easy to setup. And even if you don’t want to give amazon your money, there are plenty of hosting providers that offer similar capabilities and free tiers. The thought being that once you grow beyond the free tier you’ll pay for their services since it’s annoying to move elsewhere.
