    A Buildroot distribution small enough to run on my business card

  • I was heavily inspired by this: https://github.com/thirtythreeforty/businesscard-linux If I've got some time I'll make a repository with instructions on how to do it I used debootstrap for the main root filesystem

  • raspi-overlayroot

    Protect your SD card against wear and tear

  • You could use something like https://github.com/nils-werner/raspi-overlayroot , works really well

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • impermanence

    Modules to help you handle persistent state on systems with ephemeral root storage [maintainer=@talyz]

  • NixOS is a good distro for installing on an SD, since it takes so well to impermanence. Configure your system and home-manager in a VM, then just copy those files and install them on the SD. The only folders that need to be persistent are /boot and /nix, but you will probably want something like /home/persist too. https://github.com/nix-community/impermanence
