Media Centre and Personal Cloud on Raspberry Pi 2

Abstract

Nowadays cloud storage is all the rage in world. Almost everyone who use a smartphone uses a cloud storage service. This project introduces a system focused on cost reduction and providing quality services in the field of technology. Raspberry Pi is a powerful yet small credit card sized computer that can carry out tasks that requires decent amount of processing power. This project uses a web interface hosted on the Raspberry Pi which in turn enables user to move his/her data back and forth from his/her handheld device. This project also proposes a system which would enable user to consume data on the Raspberry Pi by connecting the same to a screen. By means of a media server, user will be able to consume the data that he /she previously stored on the Raspberry Pi on a considerably large screen without downloading the media to their personal device. This project will result in drastic cost reduction that is incurred by an individual for using cloud services. The complete system will be based on wireless communication and can be controlled by the user remotely
