Be wary of some packages that expect their log folder to exist at /var/log/some_package else they won't start, I can't remember which of nginix or apache has that issue. That adafruit script is very simple and there are more robust setups out there, albeit not as well documented.
Netbooting isn't 100% reliable and last time I checked there were certain network switches/hubs that caused issues. Maybe that's a non-issue if you are also providing the network infrastructure.
Lastly, remember that the more RAM you consume for your filesystem/logs etc, the less available for our actual application. That becomes more of a problem when you start also assigning a large chunk of that RAM to the GPU.

Maybe that's a non-issue if you are also providing the network infrastructure. We will be providing the network infrastructure indeed, but being aware of this will certainly be valuable if we face those sorts of problems, so thanks for that :) Do you happen to know of any specific switches or hubs that would work reliably in this context?
- kingosticks 8y agoI'm sorry I don't remember what I have but [1] suggests a Netgear GS108. That link also explains a couple of the issues and they may have even been fixed in more recent bootcode versions. The 3B+ has a later version (and also has netboot enabled by default so you don't need to mess with program_usb_boot_mode).
