Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE) 8.1.4 – improve idle power consumption with ‚powertop –auto-tune‘

First make a systemd service file:

root@pve-s740-01:~# vi  /etc/systemd/system/powertop.service

You can add this to that file:

[Unit]
Description=PowerTOP auto-tuning
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/powertop –auto-tune
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then, enable the service using the command:

root@pve-s740-01:~# systemctl enable powertop.service
root@pve-s740-01:~# powertop
