they are getting more popular among homelab-ers

cool idea, had no idea people used tiny racks like that

some more context on this github issue:

I have realized that a lot of people nowadays self-host services and set up home labs with mini racks.One major pain point I have come across personally is to quickly get health status from self-hosted services and machines, and have the ability to headlessly control my Raspberry Pi inside a mini rack.So It got me thinking about building a built-in GUI that users can easily add to their Raspberry Pi nodes in their (mini or full) racks or elsewhere.I have previously designed this GUI for an open source project I have been working on (called Ubo pod: github.com&#x2F;ubopod) and decided to detach&#x2F;decouple the GUI into its own standalone module for this use case.The GUI allows headless control of your Raspberry Pi, monitoring of system resources, and application status.I am designing a new PCB and enclosure as part of this re-design to allow for a new form factor that mounts on server racks.I am recording my journey of re-designing this and I would love to get early feedback from users to better understand what they may need or require from such a solution, specially on the hardware side.The software behind the GUI is quite mature (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ubopod&#x2F;ubo_app">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ubopod&#x2F;ubo_app</a>) and you can actually try it right now without the hardware inside the web browser as shown in the video:<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=9Ob_HDO66_8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=9Ob_HDO66_8</a>All PCB designs are available here:<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ubopod&#x2F;ubo-pcb">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ubopod&#x2F;ubo-pcb</a>
