Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our headless architecture and hardware validation.

How does the Hardware Compatibility Engine work? +

Our compatibility engine evaluates every component against domain constraints: DDR generation matching, ECC chipset requirements, M.2 slot limits, PSU/TDP headroom, and physical rack dimensions.

Is PrestaShop 9 used for live checkout and inventory? +

Yes. PrestaShop 9 serves as the authoritative headless backend. Astro communicates securely via server-side Webservice API endpoints with Basic Auth API keys, ensuring zero API keys or secrets leak to the browser.

Can I add an entire multi-component lab build to the cart at once? +

Yes. The Home Lab Builder features an atomic "Add Entire Build to Cart" action that automatically groups and synchronizes all selected components in your PrestaShop cart session.

What operating systems are supported on your hardware? +

Our hardware is benchmarked for Proxmox VE 8.x, TrueNAS SCALE, VMware ESXi 8.0, OPNSense, pfSense CE, and mainline Linux kernels (Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS, Debian 12).
