You can buy the rails by themselves if you wanted to make your own. Using finished lumber works very well if you’re handy with tools.
I made my own, but normal size to fit a specific space in my closet.

no details at the moment, but I upload nearly 1Tb / day of media. so 25TB per month UPLOAD, you can imagine my downloads.
network solutions does this too, search a domain on their site, comeback a month and now they own it and will sell it to you of course. not sure if they still do,but I know for fact they did years back.
I just rebuilt my truenas in a node 804 and LOVE it. so much hard drive space. wanted to get the 304 for my personal backup server, but got thermal takes corev1 instead. looks uglier, but works well too.
Yeah, it’s probably running as a service, no icon anywhere. Should be good.
Even without a static, you can use services like ddns.net to auto update if your IP address changes with their app. Pretty simple setup, free version too.
Not sure why you’re downvote, you’re absolutely right. People scan for open ports all day long and will eventually find your shit and try to break in. In my work environment, I see thousands of login attempts daily on brand new accounts, just because something discovered they exist and want to check it out.
