  • I’m currently planning for my next server, and there’s the same question.

    My first idea was a plain and simple PSU for 12V and then a small buck converter to make 5V from the 12V.

    Then I found a variant of the 12V PSU that has UPS capability built in (you can plug a 12V battery and it does everything else, or you can leave the battery away and it’s just a PSU) and I ordered me this one. So I need no external UPS unit.

    Example here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32852797799.html

    It’s not complete yet. For the wiring I’m going to do some tinkering with a cheap extension cable.
