As many people are aware privacy is starting to become more and more of an issue. If you’re protective of the privacy of your files, then you will probably be interested in this setup.

You will need to have a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian installed on it. If you don’t you can check out my video on installing Raspbian. This particular tutorial is on the Raspberry Pi 2 Owncloud however this should be backwards compatible with any previous version of the Pi.

In this tutorial we will also take a look at mounting a hard drive so the Raspberry Pi cloud server can store the files without running out of room fast. I highly recommended doing this as you will find a SD card really doesn’t hold much unless you pay for an expensive one.

The overall setup of an external drive is pretty easy but very easy for complications to occur.

Once Owncloud is all setup you simply setup your admin account and you’re all good to go. If you decided not to setup an external drive, then I recommend keeping the network drive as the default.

If you want to access the Owncloud Raspberry Pi outside your network, then you will need to setup port forwarding. I recommend following my tutorial and forwarding a random port to port 80 on the pi.

I hope this video/tutorial has helped you be able to make your own Raspberry Pi Owncloud. If you want to leave feedback, feel free to drop us a comment below or other at pimylifeup.com
