  • You mention frigate specifically. Were you running this on the system when the drive failed, or is this a future endeavour?

    I bring this up because I also use frigate, and for some time I was running with a misconfigured docker compose that drove my SSD wearout to 40% in a matter of months.

    Make sure that the tmpfs is configured per the frigate documentation and example config. If misconfigured like mine was, all of that IO is on disk. I believe the ramdisk is used for temp storage of camera streams, until an event occurs and the corresponding clip is committed to disk.

    Good luck!



  • Thank you! Something concrete to go on. Is there a specific name these go by? I couldn’t find them by searching.

    I think I have two issues to work through. I’m not sure I applied enough pressure to actuate the spring (access may be a limiting factor in-situ), and I was using an extremely fine gauge of wire. I doubt it would have the stiffness to push in.

    Would a stalk lug work to provide added stiffness to the conductor, or does this terminal expect something malleable?



  • Pulling around 200W on average.

    • 100W for the server. Xeon E3-1231v3 with 8 spinning disks + HBA, couple of sata SSD’s
    • ~80W for the unifi PoE 48 Pro switch. Most of this is PoE power for half a dozen cameras, downstream switches and AP’s, and a couple of raspberry pi’s
    • ~20W for protectli vault running Opnsense
    • Total usage measured via Eaton UPS
    • Subsidised during the day with solar power (Enphase)

    I use the Amplipi from Micro-Nova for whole-home audio and I love it. It’s local, open source and has a Home Assistant integration.

    The main unit has 6 zones, but expansions units can be added. I think it supports up to 4 simultaneous streams. We use 2x AirPlay streams, and a turn table connected via RCA, but many other options are supported. They detail it all on their website and GitHub repo.
