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
100% agreed. I now have to figure out how to change my setup without disrupting everything.
