    A few suggestions and thinks I wish I knew when I started ( personal opinions incoming ): 1. Get a single well sized server ( I'd go for 8 cpus .. And like more than 16 gigs of ram and 250+ ssd, ideally m.2 nvme ). Don't bother with raspberry pis.. Check my profile for my previous post to see a comparison of raspberry pi cluster and a x86 cluster... 2. Install proxmox to do virtualization 3. The majority of People in this sub hate kubernetes and the minority is scared to speak, but install k3s on the vms you spin up, this way you can scale resources and not worry about some elaborate setup of which containers go to which node and how to setup tls offloading, load balancing and much much much more as kubernetes will handle it for you. ( bonus since you are a devops engineer so you are probably used to kube clusters ) 4. Use Velero to do restic backups to s3 for services that are critical like dbs and password managers etc. 5. Do everything with ansible or GitOps! My personal homelab is here: https://github.com/Michaelpalacce/HomeLab utilizing ansible, flux for GitOps and renovate to keep my services up to date ( note to say my cluster spin up isn't as nice as I want it to be since when provisioning I have a Dependency on some secrets which I do manually.. But this is only first cluster setup ) 6. Setup a VPN and administrative services on the raspberry pi you have lying around. Personally my VPN is on the router but if yours doesn't support it, do that. 7. After you are done setting everything up and you have a backup, format the drives and reinstall the vms and re set everything up. Document the process, write automation scripts until satisfied... I genuinely recommend you do this like 3 times...... 8. Vpn I guess a lot of people like wireguard or adguard home... Doesn't really matter as long as it's not open vpn and it supports multiple threads. 9. Setup nodered for some automation around your new home, you'll love it. 10. Firefly is amazing! 11. Make sure that your CSI ( Container storage interface ) supports replication. Keep 3 replicas of critical volumes! 11. If you need any help, don't forget to ask :) personally shoot me a dm and I'll do my best to help, but I'm sure most of us here would
