I slowly ran out of use cases for a "home server" as everything moved to "the cloud" (hand wave), streaming and Apple took most of it away. Keeping a static IP for mail and web got more expensive that Google Apps for Domains & Netlify.
Now I just have a RockPro64 with a 256GB SSD I had lying around running InfluxDB and Grafana. You do need 4GB of RAM and a disk for this and the RockPro64 is better and more available than a 4GB Pi 4. Seriously love that thing.
My Netgate router streams metrics to it. I have a Raspberry Pi running the Ubiquiti management software for my APs and monitoring my UPS with nut. Telegraf is easy to work with extending. I do need to scrape metrics from the Ubiquiti APs eventually.
Every once in a while I mess with some other little ARM board and environmental sensors, but that's it.
No fans. Less power than my kids' tablets. Just Ansible for config management and keeping them up to date.
