Hey! Long story short, I’m interested in Self hosting stuff and want to wet my feet a bit with a spare laptop I have. The main nvme drive is used by windows 10, and it has a 250 Go SD card.
I’ve been trying to install TrueNAS Scale and YunoHost on the SD card to no avail. I have seen people on forums say they had stuff installed on an SD card but I’m starting to doubt it.
Can it work? I think I need some help but I don’t know what info might be useful.
Short answer: yes, you absolutely can.
But there are a lot of caveats (I did that with a usb stick): you need a light distro, ubuntu server in a nimble installation can work with that but if your server expands (like mine does) you will start to get a hard time.
So long answer: you probably shouldn’t do it if you can avoid it.
Came in here to say this. If you really want to play, get a cheap used hdd and mess around with that. An sd card will make your first experience more trouble than it’s worth
100% agreed. I now have to figure out how to change my setup without disrupting everything.
