ABSOLUTELY. Look into Samba share for Rasberry Pi. It's awesome and I've been using it at home for at least 4 months already.

Yea, you definitely can. But multiple writes to an internal sd can wear its life prematurely.

It wont be a big website. Just something to make life a lot easier at school. I'm working on a project to make a school website. I just need a server to do it.

Cool idea, try using Nginx its faster.

I definitely wouldn't use the sd card for network storage, usb hard drives are a much better and more reliable solution.

 

For a web server it's just fine though.

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

sudo chmod -R 000 /*

I did run a PI as a test for a dev server. Had fun for a while. Definately for a school project and trust Sauron on his HD-advise.
