Home lab architecture update: two of the Lenovo boxes in the picture below became Talos nodes, together with the Framework Desktop. The third Lenovo became a Proxmox node.

Yep, I'm back on the Proxmox bandwagon.

Now I have a bit of everything: Talos running Kubernetes, Proxmox running VM/LXC and Raspberry Pi running Docker.

At some point the three Raspberry Pis are going away, and the services are going to be distributed between Talos and Proxmox, then they are going to become back-end compute for shenanigans (like a Home Assistant dashboard, for example).

Speaking about Home Assistant: I'm baffled about the fact that HAOS out of the box (no config at all) running as a VM is consuming 3.5GB of RAM, while the sum of Raspberry Pi OS + Home Assistant Docker, with thousands of entities, is barely touching 1.5GB RAM.

Is this because of the difference between x86_64 and ARM? Is that normal? 🤔

@badnetmask @homelab please compare the readings of the VM with the reading inside HA settings. For me there’s a big difference. Probably all the addons but maybe there is a difference for you too

If you mean going into HA, Settings, Hardware, the memory usage there shows only 0.7GB. But what good does it make if the real usage on the Proxmox host is 3.5GB? I don't know where Home Assistant gets this memory information from.

@badnetmask @homelab @homeassistant maybe haos is taking reserves. But I was asking myself this over the last couple of years.
