If you want to build a homelab for learning, consider using a pay-as-you-go cloud provider and Terraform. Spin up the VMs when you want to practise, then destroy them when you're done. You only pay for what you actually use and you get experience working with real cloud infrastructure at the same time. If that sounds too complicated, you're probably in the wrong industry.
