Just to add my two cents: When I started out I thought I'd need a datacenter, with 10 Gig connectivity and a lot of storage. Turns out, a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB would've been sufficient for the things I actually use.
My recommendation would be therefore to start minimalistic and build up according to your needs from there. Start with a Raspberry PI and Docker or use a used Micro SFF and go up from there, this advice would've saved me a lot of money and electricity.
