TBH, I always thought YP/NIS was good enough... but I live in a tiny bubble. Obligatory:

Honestly, I wish I could stick with LDAP forever, it just worked. But no. My first setup in 2004 was OpenLDAP all the way for every service.

I am moving to a new server over Christmas, thanks for telling though :-)

Yeah, it's a big world and it has a clever way of getting what it wants. On a serious note I'd say you'll just have to balance your design w/ what people are willing to pay for. You probably know this already though :-)

Enjoy the new server!

Thanks! I sure will, its my first own rack in a new data centre actually :-) kinda a long-term member of the homelab movement

Sweet. I think you're making a good move. Best to own the kernel of your infrastructure... then rely on cloud services as growth allows.

That's why I went through this exercise a couple of years ago:

That's the plan. I still have to figure out a lot but it's fun!
