I am currently looking to consolidate all my Raspberry Pi servers into used "enterprise class" hardware and start my journey with a homelab.
What are good hardware recommendations and websites to start looking for hardware purchases (patch panels, switches, dedicated server hardware, firewalls, UPS, etc...)
I know my way around enough to be dangerous, but want to learn more and become better. I also want this thread to be useful for others who would be starting their journey.
Don't know if this will help but these are the services I use:
Nextcloud (WebDAV, Picture Backup)
Umbrel OS (Bitcoin/LND only)
Home Assistant
OctoPrint
Pi-Hole
Dedicated VPN
JellyFin Server (12 TB of media, mostly Hi-Fi Music and 4K Movies)
Backup Server for 3 desktops (5TB)
Future Plans:
NOSTR relay
Personal Mastodon/Pleroma Instance
1 or 2 game servers
Maybe something else that pops up, who knows...
