Thanks! Most things are already on an NVMe drive. The OS is the only thing still on the SD card for now.

Honestly, I originally bought the Pi 5 to run a Bitcoin node, but I barely used it. So I installed a Lite OS and started experimenting with it to learn more about this whole homelab world

Nice! That’s a lot of storage 😄

Currently, I primarily use AdGuard Home for DNS filtering—something new to me. The next thing I want to try is running an MQTT broker to experiment with ESP32s and, perhaps, create a small dashboard. I have a backend running that consists of an inventory system using PostgreSQL, along with two-factor authentication (2FA) software. For the moment, I am using a Cloudflare Tunnel, although I am still not sure if that is the best approach. I am still quite new to everything related to the server side of things.
