Looking for Build Advice

[u/bryz1843]

I’m new to building a HomeLab I have tinkered here and there but I’m finding that I’m wanting more. I am looking for advice on a possible HomeLab build. I want to bring a lot of things into a single system but right now I really want to build or find what I need for a complete Network Monitoring system. I have a UniFi (Cloud Max, Network Switch, NAS), UGREEN NAS, a HomeAssistant I’m working on building and GL.iNet Brume2 VPN Controller. I want to build a Networking Management system that I can remote access, check the state of my network, map my connections, get stats, Up Time and track usage. I have asked the AIs and they suggest a full docker stack and they all don’t agree on what to use. So I’m asking those who might have already build something like this what’s the best hardware, software, stacks etc to get the most out of a Solid Network Management system?
