Ryzen 5900X, 64 gig DDR4-3200, 2tb ssd,10tb hdd and an RTX2070. Hosting Stable Diffusion, various llama.cpp instances with python bindings, jellyfin, sonarr, multiple modded minecraft servers, and a network file share.
Certainly blows my collection of old junk out of the water.
Has running Stable Diffusion had a big impact on the other stuff running? I’m thinking the Minecraft servers in particular.
I’m very ignorant about it. I wonder if I can buy a cheap computer and turn it into a server that I can only use by keeping it on all the time?
@Alpagu @behohippy Sure, that’s how we all started. An old computer, throw proxmox in there, a few VMs and/or a docker host and you have yourself a pretty sweet homelab.
Thank you for answer
Yup, typically we get into it after upgrading an older PC or something and instead of selling the parts, just turn it into a server. You can also find all sorts of cheap/good stuff on ebay from office off-lease.
Nice, you must be into deep learning with such a setup, any particular reason the deep deep learning models and GPU run in your server rather than in a powerful desktop system? Maybe you’re actively offering AI services to the outside world?
It is a powerful desktop system as in it’s housed in a desktop case and uses a “non-server” CPU.
Which like any computer can be a server. Being a server is more of a role than a form factor even if there are form factors specifically aimed at servers (rack mounted).
Yup, mostly running pretrained models for text embedding and some generative stuff. No real fine tuning.
