Bring your data home

The goal of the Nextcloud Pi Project is to create a device that makes it easier for people to self-host their data. We're working with WDLabs on this.

Our goals are to make a device that is:

• Affordable
• Easy
• Open
• Safe

on which people can host their data at home. Western Digital offers the amazing PiDrive kit which we used to prototype the project. This brings a 1TB hard drive in an enclosure together with a miniature computer board powered by a Micro USB phone charger.

Technology

Technology is still in flux but we've largely settled on these choices

• Raspberry Pi 2 for initial batch; looking at the oDroid C2 for after that
• 1 or 2 TB USB3 hard drive from WD
• Special case for the Nextcloud Pi project
• Snappy Ubuntu Core as OS
• Apache, MySQL, latest Nextcloud

Stay tuned for more information, coming soon!
