Hello, I can't seem to install the self-hosted engine onto local storage. It gives me glustefs, iscsi, fc, and nfs as the available options. I'm using this in a home-lab scenario, and don't have budget/etc. for building out a dedicated NAS for it, or setting up multiple nodes. I like the look of oVirt, and wanted to try it with a couple disposable vm's (plex, and a docker instance I break often). My current best- thought for how to make it work is to setup NFS on the server, and then point the self-hosted engine at the (local) NFS share. Is there a better way to do this that I might be overlooking?* *Factoring that I don't have the funds to build out a proper storage environment, yet. (and if anyone asks, I did search for a solution to this, but didn't find anything super helpful. Mostly I found 5+ year old articles on a similar but different scenario).

I dont think a bare-metal engine can be a compute node as well.
