Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I work with real servers. SD card boot media is generally a bad idea. VMware officially semi-deprecated it a while back. Unless you tune your install to redirect typical I/O to the durable drives (which is going to be a pain, having to find and reconfigure all those services), typical logging to disk and various temp files are going to wear it out pretty quickly.
I would just use two drives and not separate the OS. That way, you also don't have to worry about the OS drive failing and taking down the server.
Just be careful if you reinstall. I'd suggest deleting the OS partitions first, then reinstalling to the empty space, instead of trusting the installer to do it properly.
Any more information on doing a redirect of the typical I/O in a server booted from microSD?
Edit: Nevermind asked the "AI" and found some answers online.
Alpine Linux's setup has some nice options for this too
Obviousy :)
