Hey, I thought of getting the same machine recently! What’s the power consumption? And what about things like remote turn on? I have a beefy server that doesn’t work 24/7, but when I need it, I wake-on-LAN it from a Raspberry Pi. What about something similar with Mac minis? And what about power loss, will it turn on back again? I value that a lot from these SBCs.
- wingworks 1y agoLooking at some old photos from 2018 on idle it takes around 7.7-15W, don't recall what I had running on it at the time. Probably Plex. Not sure on remote turn on. I've got it on a UPS which usually holds it over any short power cuts. I don't think it auto powers on after extended power cut, but I've also not looked into if it's possible to enable. Edit, looks like you can enable auto boot: https://www.reddit.com/r/Proxmox/comments/vf8cv4/mac_mini_autoboot_after_power_failure/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Proxmox/comments/vf8cv4/mac_mini_au... Also, according to this https://wiki.debian.org/WakeOnLan https://wiki.debian.org/WakeOnLan, I checked my Mac, and both Supports Wake-on and Wake-on was "g", so in theory, WoL should work too.
