Damn that’s so cool, it would even make selfhosting with old hardware better, because it often has high power draw.
It’s like the homebrew version of on-demand compute… but not many public services at least are suitable for it. But I could imagine a CI or a OpenDroneMap worker could be used with this quite well.
@poVoq @sexy_peach this a pretty great idea. I wonder if it’s possible to do the waking up part in a more automatic way. As described, there’s a webpage running on a pi from which you press a button to wake up the server. Would be even cooler if incoming requests went through the pi and automatically wake up the server if needed
Definitely possible to link it to a webhook for example that also triggers the CI. But it might be a bit fiddly to get the timing right so that the server is already up and running when it is really needed.
