Cleaned up my homelab today. Routed all power through a UPS, which gives me an hour of uptime in case the power goes out. My ISP’s 10 Gbps fiber modem feeds into an SFP+ module plugged in a Ubiquiti Dream Machine SE that acts as router and firewall. I’m running 3x Ubuntu Server NUCs with an Ethereum node, a Quilibrium node, and Adguard Home as the central adblocking DNS (which I can monitor in real time on the screen). Also a Synology NAS for local backups + video surveillance. The utility closet was ~20 inches wide so I had to shop for a slim rack that could just about fit

Can you share how much do you spend on electricity? Also how it balances the benefits of the nodes?

The UPS shows that my setup is using about ~72 watts, so you can translate that into $ where you live. I’ve run an Ethereum node for about as long as Ethereum has been a thing, and a Bitcoin node before that, as an altruistic hobby for the sake of the network. In the case of Quilibrium, the node is also mining, but unprofitably so. It’s not a positive ROI setup for either CapEx or OpEx.

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. My problem in Madrid, Spain, is having a fixed ip as they charge you massive amounts of money.

Ah yes. You can get by with dynamic DNS but it’s not ideal for sure. https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/glossary/dynamic-dns/
