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.

    Install an OS on the card to boot from? Its the same process as making a bootable live USB stick.

    The performance will be poor in comparison to an SSD and will reduce the longevity of the card due to many r/w operations.
