Thank you for this detailed response. I was able to buy a USB-stick-style SD/mSD reader/writer and a couple of 128gb cards to go with it. I have ubuntu up and running now and a backup as well. I tried following this guide but I keep running into issues around the docker compose part. I think I am in over my head at this point and will just make a local setup the way I know how and try again in the future.
Thanks for the tips about saving my bacon with multiple SD cards.
Is it possible to do this all on Raspberry Pi OS? I purchased an 8GB RPi 4 and it came with Buster pre-installed. I don’t have any other computer. I have no way of writing Ubuntu onto a micro SD. :/
