Self-hosting @ Home: How Do You Handle Moving?

TL;DR: I'm (unexpectedly) going to be moving before the end of the year. How would you suggest minimizing downtime/interruption of self-hosted applications @ home?

Backstory:

I've been self-hosting a number of applications at home on a Proxmox cluster with Ceph, Tailscale, and/or a Cloudflare Tunnel.

Many of them are for my business. It's saved us a sh*t ton of money and we own our data, but I find myself having to move house.

Examples: Rybbit and OpenPanel for analytics, OnlyOffice Docspace, Docmost wiki, Penpot for UX design, Memos, Kutt link shortener, Gitea (for GitHub mirror), OpenGist, Vikunja, Pocket ID, and an application that I vibe coded for tracking investor engagement on pitch decks (using OpenPanel and Kutt).

Ask:

Assuming I have 6 - 9 months to figure this out, how might you handle the move while maintaining continuity?

Ideas:

The best (and most costly) idea is to rent a bare metal server, install Proxmox, and move everything there for a short while, then migrate everything back to the cluster @ home after the move. That seems expensive in both cash and time.

The cluster consists of three Late-2018 Mac minis, each with 64 GB RAM. Each machine is using ~35% memory resources. Storage is manageable if you discount my collection of "Linux ISO backups" which don't need to be online during the move.

Any other ideas are appreciated, even the snarky ones. ????
