syncing their data between different machines has become a necessity. However,
it comes at a cost - you lose control over your data once you uploaded them.
What if you could run a cloud service at your personal server? Welcome to
Nextcloud. You might have a heard about Owncloud. Due to disagreements over
the goals of the project, the Owncloud founder and few other key figures have
forked it into Nextcloud. Between the <a href="https://nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-conference-keynote-speakers-and-launch-event/">Nextcloud
conference</a>
and the <a href="https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/09/16/nextcloud-box-a-private-cloud-and-iot-solution-for-home-users/">Nextcloud Box</a>,
the project seems to be gaining a lot of
traction. And that's why I chose it rather than Owncloud. As in my previous
guides for <a href="https://radeksprta.eu/posts/setting-up-headless-raspberry-pi-server/">Setting Up Headless Raspberry Pi
Server</a> and
<a href="https://radeksprta.eu/posts/turn-raspberry-pi-into-torrentbox/">Turning Raspberry Pi Into Torrentbox</a>,
I will guide you step by step how to install Nextcloud
on Raspberry Pi, turning it into your personal cloud. In the examples, I am
using Raspbian, but the instructions should be similar for other systems.</p>

server</a>. It is
sitting there, all nice and shiny. Now it is time to actually make it do
something useful. Therefore, this guide will show you how to setup your
Raspberry to work as torrent box, that automatically downloads all your
favorite legal content.</p>
<h3>Create download folders</h3>
<p>First of all, you will need to an external usb drive to store the downloaded
files. You can find out how to connect one in <a href="https://radeksprta.eu/how-to-connect-external-hard-drive-to-raspberry-pi/">one of my other
posts</a>.
Let's say you have it mounted as <code>/media/external</code>. Then, create the
following directories for your downloads:</p>
<div class="code"><pre class="code literal-block">$ mkdir /media/external/incomplete
$ mkdir /media/external/complete
</pre></div>

3</a>, a new
version of their popular developer board. It features a faster ARM processor,
1 GB of RAM and, most importantly, on-board wifi. This makes it even better
choice for a headless Linux server. This guide shows how to do the basic
Raspberry Pi server setup, with password-less SSH and automatic updates.</p>
<h3>Get the Raspbian Lite image</h3>
<p>First of all, you have to download a Linux image for your Raspberry Pi. For
using it as a headless server I recommend the Raspbian Lite, which is a
minimal image shipped without the desktop packages (which are obviously not
needed for a headless server). You can download it
<a href="https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite_latest">here</a>. When the
download is complete, open the <code>.zip</code> file and unzip the <code>.img</code> file
containing the image.</p>
