I think it's valid, if I'm understanding the context. OP seems to run a lot of infrastructure on his "home servers" not because he directly needs it but as a learning/playground environment. So here he's chosen to learn about some new tools rather than track-down and fix a misbehaving script. That seems reasonable to me. (Though, I'm inferring here. If that's really was his thinking was, he could have stated it clearly and prevented the confusion.)
