It’s nit picking but compatibility is sometimes not guaranteed with certain asset packs/features that seem to be shipped by default across certain versions. It kind of comes with the whole “hey, when you view the thing please view it using this url” aspect which is fine generally but there are always those outlier situations. Like I said though. Total nit picking.
Personally I did something similar here. You could likely find a rack for free if you look at to colos, data centers or schools. I got a 60u full enclosed rack from the colo I kept my servers at. The big problem was space. People look to get rid of them because they are such a burden in space.
Good stuff getting a gen9. I got a gen8 before I realized that there were firmware limitations particularly with a lack of support for gpt. I instead needed a really hacky workaround with mbr in order to run my name ssd as the boot drive at full capacity.
Also I like to drop this tool occasionally for any new homelabbers.
