I have a Pi 4 and ran Wireguard/PiHole on it for a few years before the SD card died.
I decided to install Ubuntu on a 6 year old Dell XPS computer. I now run Wireguard/PiHole strictly on docker and it is incredibly fast. Changed my settings to auto start the PC after a power loss. I haven't had any downtime for the containers. I'll stick to my custom docker compose file forever.
- chao- 2y agoWould you share said compose file?
- stavros 2y agoI can't speak to the Compose file itself, but I use Compose to run stuff myself on an intel NUC and it has been amazing. Orders of magnitude faster than a Pi, super stable, tiny, I just love it. I even wrote a utility to manage the bunch of Compose files via git and automatically update them when I push changes to the repo: https://harbormaster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ https://harbormaster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

- ycuser2 2y agoThe only thing is the higher energy consumption.
- ignoramous 2y agoWireGuard shouldn't consume energy when idle. Turn off KeepAlive, if your network setup allows for it (on most platforms, the official WireGuard implementation can roam just fine).
- abound 2y agoI think they meant in case of the Pi vs Dell XPS
- irunmyownemail 2y agoI don't use the expensive Pi devices and like the parent commenter, I use an old laptop with a 4 Gig VM, host Ubuntu, VM Ubuntu and it runs my kube cluster as well as a separate kube cluster on the host itself. If it used much power, my wife would be on me about it. PS I don't use Snap.
- doublepg23 2y agoSignificantly more though? I think people overestimate x86 idle power draw.
- fnord77 2y agoDoes the XPS use a lot more power than the pi 4?
- EasyMark 2y agoOf course it does. It’s probably still less than a few dollars a month
