Simple script-based, Raspberry-Pi hosted cross-platform Cloud with tls/ssl-encrypted Web Interface.
Syncs client directories automatically to private network access storage (NAS) with on-the-fly categorization of synced files (audio, video, documents and pictures) and thumbnail generation. Prints documents remotely via CUPS. Guest access possible. No 'rooting' of android devices is required.
- lightweight: based on OpenSSH, linux tools rsync, cron & bash scripts
- secure: using key-based encryption
- convenient: tls/ssl-encrypted web interface with instant search and image gallery functions for mobile browsing (see screenshots)
- generic: client-side linux environment available on many platforms, sftp-access supported by many file browsers (incl. Windows10 Explorer)
- quick-install: using command line script (~10 min)
- low cost: using Raspberry-Pi as server and standard USB drive as network access storage (NAS)
-
linux server (tested with Raspian Stretch/Buster on a Raspberry Pi 3b+)
-
nginx web server (v1.10.3) and OpenSSH server (v7.4)
-
CUPS server (v2.2.10) for remote printing
-
NAS storage (tested with low cost 2.5 inch portbale, ext4-formatted USB-Harddisk attached to the Raspberry Pi)
-
imagemagick (v6), libreoffice (v5) & ffmpeg (v3.2.14) for server-side thumbnail generation
-
client requires termux (tested on android 7/8) or cygwin (windows) environment

scp pi@IP-ADDRESS:RaspiCloud-master/install/install_client.sh $HOME/chmod +x $HOME/install_client.sh -
execute it:
./install_client.sh
On Raspbian Server:
-
open a terminal and make install-script executable:
chmod +x ./RaspiCloud-master/websrv/install_nginx.sh -
execute it:
./RaspiCloud-master/websrv/install_nginx.sh
On the Client:
- go to https://IP-ADDRESS/cloud/USER, enter USER's credentials and browse your cloud.
On Raspbian Server:
-
open a terminal and make install-script executable:
chmod +x ./RaspiCloud-master/websrv/install_cups.sh -
execute it:
./RaspiCloud-master/websrv/install_cups.sh -
install printers using the CUPS-webinterface
On the Client:
- install a cups printing service (e.g., CUPS Printing for android clients: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.benoitduffez.cupsprint)
