Installing and running OpenProject from a USB Memory Stick?

Hello, I  was wondering if it is possible to install OpenProject to a USB, and then run it from the USB as well?

If so, what type of installation method should I use?

Thank you

Hello Kieran,

I had my first installation running from a USB-Disk. But that was a bootable linux disk. Not a disk that I plugged in after booting my machine.

If plugging in after boot is a requirement, I think you can store the docker data on the stick, mount your USB device into /var/docker. And then restart your Docker service.

However, with this solution, when you unplug the USB device, all of the containers have to be stopped. Otherwise, data will be lost.

BTW: The problem I had with USB, was the speed. USB-storage is not the fastest one available.

best regards

Johan
