How I Created My Own Cloud Using BitTorrent Sync, Raspberry Pi & Owncloud

How I Created My Own Cloud Using BitTorrent Sync, Raspberry Pi & Owncloud
I’ve had a Raspberry Pi lying around the house for a few months now. Every once in a while I’ll take it out and tinker around with it. When BitTorrent released the BitTorrent Sync Alpha a few weeks back, I decided to see what kind of options I had for using the program with my Raspberry Pi. BitTorrent Sync is awesome. If you have a DIY attitude and aren’t afraid of a few terminal commands, then read on to learn about how I did it. First, you’ll need the following: A Raspberry PiUSB Keyboard for setupUSB Mouse for setupSD card (faster, the better)A thumb drive (I like using this for its low profile). Step 1: Setting up Raspbian Fire up your favorite torrent client and download the Raspbian “wheezy” image. I won’t go in to full detail on how to write the images to the SD card. When that is done, plug the SD card into your RasPi and fire it up. Step 2: Installing BitTorrent Sync wget " Then change the download directory: . df -h

Remote Desktop with Raspberry Pi Do you want to remote into your Raspberry Pi and see a graphical desktop? It’s actually really easy. If you don’t want to dedicate a monitor or the TV to the pi but still want to use it, here’s your solution. Ok, another Raspberry Pi article. Anyway, so let’s say you’re like me and you have a bunch of computers around all the time. Pretty cool, right? Configure the Pi Make sure your Pi is connected to the Internet, and your local network containing the other machines you want to connect with. To set this up, you’ll need the Pi to run a service that your other computers can connect to. I chose xrdp for this, as I’ve had good experiences with it in the past. sudo apt-get install xrdp This will install everything you need on the Pi. Now get your IP address ifconfig eth0 | grep inet | cut -c21-30 Remember this IP as you’ll need to use it to find your Pi from another machine. Connect to the Pi with Windows To start simply go to Start -> All Programs -> Remote Desktop Connection And connect! Summary

Debian and Ubuntu Server Packages for BitTorrent Sync - BitTorrent Sync - BitTorrent Forums BitTorrent® Inc. delivers for Linux users only a raw binary file without any deployment concept or setup system. It's up to the user to create a reliable startup and shutdown logic, manage configuration files, internal storage directories and everything else related to file and directory permissions, application update and various other aspects. The BitTorrent Sync Server Package (btsync) is the ideal solution for all users that want to deploy BitTorrent Sync on Linux servers running Debian or other derived distributions like Ubuntu, Raspbian, Linux Mint or similar. The BitTorrent Sync Server Package is designed to run one or more BitTorrent Sync background processes (called "instances") on servers where no specific user is usually logged on. Since the server package does not provide any GUI (except for the optional Web UI provided by BitTorrent Sync itself), it can be also installed on headless servers (without any desktop environment). `which sudo` dpkg-reconfigure btsync

PiCast: The open source, Raspberry Pi Chromecast alternative | Android If you were one of the many fortunate enough to grab Google’s new Chromecast HDMI dongle before it sold out, you’re already well aware of what a great experience it provides. It’s not perfect, and while we wait for Google to allow developers to release third party software to fill in the gaps, one man decided to implement his own Chromecast solution using the Raspberry Pi computer. Google’s Chromecast didn’t so much create a new concept as make an existing one affordable and dead simple to use across multiple platforms. If you’re interested in streaming Netflix, YouTube, and occasionally sharing a browser tab with no know-how required, you’d be hard pressed to find something more user-friendly than the Chromecast. While the Raspberry Pi is certainly larger than the Chromecast, there’s a great deal more flexibility to be had when using it over the Chromecast. This is a project well worth following, especially if they manage to mimic the entire feature set of the current Chromecast.
