I'm a huge fan of using Alpine with the RPi due to reducing writes to the SDCard. it will only save data to disk with a lbu commit -d and by default boots into a kind of tempfs.
- alias_neo 3y agoI have been using Alpine for a while but didn't know this! At the moment, I'm looking for a way to make my storage more resilient on a Pi I'm using to host Hashicorp Vault, for secrets in Filesystem mode. First I looked at high-resilience SD cards, but I don't really want them stored on the OS card anyway, also considered just getting a high-quality USB stick and mounting the secrets storage to that; It sounds like a combination of one of these (or perhaps another, similar option) alongside Alpine to reduce writes to the OS SD could be the ticket. I have a couple of Pis on my network edge running things like WireGuard, with the root mounted read-only to try and help with the issue of SD card resilience; I've killed dozens upon dozens of SD cards in Pis over the years.
