In this video, I go through the steps of setting up ownCloud on the Raspberry Pi. ownCloud is a self-hosted file platform that allows you to sync, share, and collaborate on files.
Tutorial: pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-owncloud
Install Docker: pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-docker
ownCloud is a decent solution if you are looking for a self-hosted alternative to Google Drive, Dropbox, or Onedrive. You can easily upload and download files to and from the server.
Using Docker in the setup significantly simplifies the process of setting up your ownCloud. The docker image is maintained by the ownCloud team, which ensures that it has the latest patches for improved reliability and security.
The video takes you through the process of setting up your ownCloud, how to keep it updated, and how to back up the data files.
Below is a list of equipment we used to run our ownCloud on the Raspberry Pi.

In this video I go through the process of setting up Raspberry Pi cayenne. This is a software package for the Pi that helps you create IoT projects fast thanks to an easy to use drag & drop interface. I also go through the steps of setting up a temperature sensor and an LED.
Full Tutorial: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-cayenne/
Installing MyDevices cayenne is a relatively straightforward process. All you need to do is make sure you have Raspbian installed and then sign up for an account at their website. Once signed up you can install it via the app or by copying a couple of command lines into the terminal for your Pi.
Adding sensors is also just as easy as installing the software. The hardest part will be connecting up the devices to the Pi correctly. For this I recommend looking at the tutorials that covers sensors, input & output devices. I have covered a few on my channel that you should take a look at if you’re interested.
Triggers & events within cayenne are a way you can have your Pi react to certain situations. In the video I show an example of sending an email and turning an LED on whenever my temperature sensor got to a certain temperature.
If you’re not a coder, then this will probably interest you as it is pretty much drag and drop as I mentioned above. You can create some amazing projects from using if then statements. On top of this time based events will allow you to have your Pi perform certain tasks at specific times. I really do just scrape on the basics in this video and will be looking at doing more projects in the very near future.
I hope this video has been able to help you with getting started with Raspberry pi cayenne. If you come across any issues, have feedback or anything else then please feel free to drop a comment below or over at pimylifeup.com")
