Hi Dave, you mention port forwarding in step 11. Unfortunatley, this can be quite a hassle to set up. We tried to solve this with our project Yaler, a relay service which enables you to make your Owncloud (and other services) accessible from the Web under a stable URL. Please see https://yaler.net/raspi for details. Kind regards, Thomas

Hi Dave,

You just described one of my best reasons for not going "Cloud" based. I want to know where my data is held at all times. You cannot do that with a giant cloud.

Making a local cloud makes a lot more sense to me, especially with the falling costs for the hardware. The software is readily available and you get full custody for your data.

Thanks for show others the way to safety.
