This journey was initiated with buying a Synology server. It started out as just a replacement for all of the external drives I have used in the past. As I started looking at what else I can do with just this server, I realized that I wanted to play with enterprise hardware. I have since acquired a small rack. 2 servers, 1Unifi UDM Pro SE, and 1 Raspberry Pi 4.
Here I will be listing any change in Hardware and Software along with the experience I had with each of them.
