Now I will be showing you how to set this up headless which means no mouse, keyboard or monitor will be connected to the raspberry pi during or after setup. Now if you are lucky enough to live in an area with a really high upload speed then you will have better results then myself. So if I was away from home downloading a file to my phone or computer from my cloud at home, it would take a while because my upload speed uploads at less then 1 megabyte per second. Depending on your area this can be either good or bad, your internet.

So you can see the savings can quickly add up.ģ. 100 gigs on gdrive will cost around 24$ a year and 1Tb will cost you about 240$ per year. So that means I have around 150 gigs of data I can access anywhere I have an internet connection. I'm using an old hard drive that is 160 gigs. Rite now Google Drive offers 15 gigs for free. Way more storage then google and dropbox offer for free. 12 cents per kWh, now that's if it were at full load year round and chances are the majority of the time it will use less power then 2.5A.Ģ. Actually its around 13$ a year at an average of. Running a Raspberry Pi 2 and a 1A HDD on a 2.5A outlet 24/7 will cost less then 20$ a year in the united states. Pros and cons with this compared to dropbox or google drive.ġ. Hopefully I will be able to explain how to setup a home Owncloud server that you can access away from home and have a NAS that you can access from any computer at home and have it act as a media server. This is all new to me and I've been learning as I go. Iv spent about a week and many hours trying different combinations of servers and tutorials that explain most of the steps but usually these are older and not relevant anymore. The reason I'm creating this it to hopefully help others with this process.
