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
