Hey homelabbers,

looking for some architectural input. I’m in the middle of migrating my main storage server to new hardware and wondering if I should also consolidate my infrastructure layer at the same time, or keep things separate.

Current setup (3 separate boxes):

1. Thomas Krenn Edge4Go (bare metal) — OPNsense firewall

• Technitium DNS

• UniFi Network Controller

• Home Assistant OS (Thread/Matter, ~20 devices)

• Nginx Proxy Manager

• Newt (Pangolin tunnel client)

3. Fujitsu Esprimo P7011 (Unraid), being replaced with new build:

• Hosts: Plex, Immich, Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, Audiobookshelf, SABnzbd, SearXNG, Technitium, ~10 Docker containers total
