I dusted off my RPI4 and started tinkering with self-hosting things and it’s sparked a fire. Suddenly I have 7 docker containers running and I need more RAM, more space and I want something reliable with room to grow. I like small form factors but it doesn’t need to be RPI small. Any recs for your favorite hardware under $500?

    Is there any benefit in running enterprise grade server boards over a consumer build for a home server?

    I am hosting several web apps (and supporting DBs/cache/object storage) and ended up just building a dedicated box using an AMD R9-5950X/64gbRAM with 1tb NVMe for cache and 3x 8tb HDDs to run Unraid across
