I need some advice on what hardware to buy for my home setup. I see a lot of posts talking about software, but not so much hardware. I would love to have a box I can buy and start setting up stuff.
A rack seems a bit expensive, my initial budget I feel is reasonable starting out is about $500-$800.
I’ve been looking at mini PCs, what are your thoughts on ASUS PN52? Just throwing that into the post to give a pin point of what I’m looking for.
I’m planning on hosting
Bitwarden
Nextcloud
Plex
Standard notes
Lemmy instance
Web server
Openresty
And need to be able to upgrade storage etc. for future proofing.

How does one even set that up?
well on unRaid you just click add a pool and you select which drives you want in it, then you just tell your shares to use that pool
Nice. I don’t use unraid. But super interesting. Gonna check it out.
