The HAT-ability of RPi makes them enough for me. You can add sata ports, PCIe, and more with a simple HAT.
any recommendations on hats for sata?
Been running one from Radxa for a while. Just make sure to check the power requirements of your drives.
I have been in for a couple months now, Proxmox cluster with two machines.
- Self built pc that was my daily driver for a while, rtx 3080ti 32gb ram, ryzen 7 3700x, runs the heavy stuff like a Mac VM, LLM stuff, game servers
- Rando open box mini pc I picked up on a whim from Bestbuy, Intel 300 (didn't even know these existed...) with igpu, 32gb of ram, hosts my dhcp/dns main traefik instance and all the light services like dozzle and such.
Works out nicely as I crash the first one too often and the DHCP going down was unacceptable, wish I got a slightly better cpu for the minipc but meh, maybe I can upgrade it later.
To be fair, also love the mini pc's and having a larger NAS. For me the PoE capabilities of the Pi's are definitely the reason I use them
three raspberries pi running k3s is good enough for me
I bought a decade old Z840 and it's great for VMs, Plex, Arr stack, and a few other services but it is so overkill with 2 GPUs. I think what I should've done was buy a couple of used desktops or laptops to expand the my homelab as I needed.
If you think about it, the kubernetes nodes often are only raspberry pis specwise. 2-4 cores, 8-16gb of ram
I ran lots of containers on a Pi 4 but recently purchased two cheap Chinese mini PC's with 16GB RAM and an SSD. They're so much faster and only a bit dearer than a Pi. I run Proxmox on both.
Absolutely nothing wrong with the Pi though. The Pi 4 lives on with a USB drive attached. I have NFS configured on it to backup my Proxmox VMs to it. It also hosts all the media for Jellyfin.
Unraid FTW.
