+   * The unraid-api will be available at localhost:3001
+   * The dev server for "rich" web components (like the User Profile Component) will be at localhost:4321 -- Note that shipping to unraid is preferred, as the dev environment is significantly different.

+   This will ship a staging build of unraid-api, unraid-ui, and unraid-components to an Unraid server located at `<SERVER_IP>`.
