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...

I find the ServeTheHome forums quite good for hardware info. From your list I think you could get away with just one machine. But of course that's not much fun :) Anyway, I foresee some Proxmox action in your future...

I've been looking into different hypervisor systems. Proxmox came into my field of view a couple of weeks ago. Don't have a system that I could try it on yet (Multi core with multithread)

Perhaps you want to look into Beelink devices?

I have been looking into smaller systems such as BeeLink(New) and used thin client lenovo desktops.
