Hello!


Can I configure Linux so that all user and application files installed by them are on a separate disk connected to RaspberryPi using SSH? The system and applications of this VM would be exclusively on the computer.
Is that feasible?

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

Linux desktop or CLI install?

SFTP will be your easiest way to set this up on desktop. it uses the same port as SSH so if you can SSH to it, you can connect to it via a SFTP client like FileZilla. 

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

Adding to this point, I have a guide for that in my signature

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

sudo chmod -R 000 /*

I'd advice against that, they're not large files and responsiveness suffers if they're solely accessed over network, especially to raspberry pi. Rsync them for backups. If you're hell-bent on doing that, set up raspi as an iSCSI target and have your linux PC be the initiator in the form of mounting its /home over iSCSI. That will also mean that the boot process will wait until network connection is established (best case) or just boot in a broken state if it can't connect to the raspi.

 

Why are you considering this setup? Maybe there's a more sensible approach.
