Anyone installed Asterisk with UnRaid?


Recommended Posts

I am trying to reduce my power (and heat) footprint.  The only PC that stays on 7x24 (running an underclocked/undervolted Athlon XP) is the one running Asterisk for my VOIP and Apache for web interface into my home automation.  Since UnRaid doesn't have S3/Suspend support, I was thinking about combining Asterisk with UnRaid on the same box.  Anyone combined UnRaid with Asterisk yet?

An idle unraid box takes very little juice.  My five disk Unraid uses 140-150W when idling, maybe less.  I know it is 185W when all disks are spinning but no read/write is going on and it is 210 or so when first booting up.  This includes the graphics card which I decided to leave installed.

 

My concern about having Unraid play nicely with another app is that unraid is fairly stupid when it comes to memory management and will kill random processes when memory gets short.

Getting the wife to consent to ONE 7/24 box (Asterisk) was hard enough, and I undervolt/underclock it down to static load is about 40 watts. Maybe if I get to build a new house in a couple of years with a rack and server closet behind the entertainment wall, I'll have the luxury of running more servers... but until then, I got to put it all on one.
