try mikrotik x86 on it, i want to know how it perform as a router
I have an hp thin client running open media vault strictly samba and no complaints there. Its pretty decent for that nothing else.
use them as guest PCs
I noticed you used Minecraft servers sometimes in your videos, you could do a standardized test for them If you either load into the same seed each time or use the same world each time with redstone machines or farms going and then either use Fabric and Carpet to do a tick warp or wait until 1.20.3 to be released where tick sprint will become a command you can see how fast the server can theoretically run the game.
I highly suggest the HP T5740 thin clients for lightweight servers. Older but inexpensive, fairly power light, and easy as a PC to load with most OS. I replace the SSDs in them though as the oem ones are cheaply made and small capacity. Also you can find a std pci expansion for them. One of them is running my firewall as we speak with a PCI network card.
I got one of these for 24$ on ebay but had trouble installing any distro but manjaro because of the issues said in this video, and manjaro was completely unusably slow, I didn't know I could fix those booting issues so it just ended up being used as a bookmark for my stack of thinkpads in my room to keep them from tipping over, I guess it found a use after all! lol
I'm using 3 5060s for a proxmox cluster. Two with 16GB of ram and one with 8GB. They're working great. I even have ceph running well. It's a great environment to test out ideas before committing them to my larger cluster and works for my more modest home needs. I'm slowly adding tasks to it and I've not had any issues. I used USB for system boot and a sata ssd to host ceph for all the vms. The cost of three systems upgraded to meet my needs was under $200.
I also have 2 7010s and they are working great as low load web servers in another location. They're okay and meet my needs. I also had plenty of old ram to stuff into them. They're not as good a value as the 5060s but they meet my needs and have been running non-stop without issue for roughly 9 months.
These have been more reliable than my raspis. They reboot cleanly every time, even the remote the boxes. All of my raspis have hung at reboot at one time or another and every so often I've had one freeze.
Appreciate this video, thank you. 👍
I didn't know thin clients for VDI (like Wyse PCs) were spec'd like this, so low/weak yet capable enough to just pull a VDI stream.
Albeit costlier, rPi 5 or 4 probably is a better bet for my uses, including among other things some kind of VDI inside my home network for fun and experimentation . . . when I prioritize it.
Kindest regards, neighbours and friends.
Am a proud owner of my WYSE 3040 <3
Hey – how would a proxmox install running a WP container perform do you think?
The 3040 with a USB 3 NIC might make a good router
Thanks!
Wyse used to make dumb terminals, then moved to thin clients. I guess Dell bought them at some point after that.
Ive got a few wyse 5070 running with 32Gb ram. (2x 16)
Specs says 8 max. But it works, only its very picky on brand and model sodimm
Did someone has heard of IGEL thin clients? We are using them in our company and the are running pretty well. At the moment we have the UD3-LX51 in use, which are still not so cheap as used devices. But in the past we had the Igel Thin Client LX UD5-LX40 which is sometimes for 20-30€ on ebay and has a pci express slot.
You should give it a chance to tinker a little bit around. 🙂
The wyse 3040 is really impressive, I've got a few of those, I got one of them to run a stripped down version of windows 10, which just fills up the available 7.3GB of storage. Unfortunately the sdio internal connector only works for WiFi cards afaik, it would have been cool if it was a pcie connector, that way you could make it even more useful in some strange ways. Mine runs 24/7 just as a remote access computer (using chrome remote desktop) to manage network more easily as well as a "backup" for wake on lan if that doesn't work outside the network. I don't have to worry about any power consumption, I measured it precisely and it tops at around 2.5w even during boot (no peripherals other than a dummy DP connector and a small fan). Unfortunately they seem to not like most Linux distros, which would have probably worked better in terms of usability.
I first like the video, than watch it, you are the greatest. Happy Holidays!
I've got one of them running my Home Assistant and another running Octoprint. Good stuff.
Can you try to install and run ChromeOS Flex or even make them a Plex or Jellyfin Server??? Thanks in advance.
The 5070 is great in the extended version since it has a pcie slot. Been my opnsense router with a 4 port i350 for over a year.
Apalrd's adventures is a great channel. Love his videos. He's apparently working on some kind of ceph build for homelab use. Curious to see how that goes.
Might be good for running a single app like Hamclock
If you looking for insanely fast mini pcs chech out the intel n100 and n305 ones out. The n305 might be bit pricy but gives about 3600 events per second (single thread) and up to 23000 with all 8 cores. Mine is passivly cooled, so performance might not be optimal.
Power consumption is terrible though. 10 watts when absolutely nothing is running. 3 VMs and it's at 15 watts. At full load it pulls 35 watts
I use a Wyze 3040 as a OctoPrint server, works flawless.
