Subsequently even if dynamic DNS isn't working you may still be able to administer your system. Using the onion address also gives you some degree of protection against corporate or government metadata analysis, since it becomes more difficult to passively detect which systems are communicating.

* Syncing to the Cloud
|
||||
Owncloud provides an easy way to sync files across multiple systems (desktop, laptop and mobile), and is a good way to wean people off of the proprietary systems such as [[http://www.drop-dropbox.com/][Dropbox]]. It can also do many other things, such as acting as a jukebox or a collaborative document editing system. Owncloud servers can also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1F-N3QXN2s][federate together]] to make it easy for independent installs to share files.
|
||||
|
||||
** Initial install
|
||||
Within a browser go to your owncloud domain, then create an administrator account. The username and password can be anything, and ideally should be generated from a password manager.
|
||||
On first visiting your owncloud domain it will ask for an password, then select *Finish*. The password can be anything, but it's a good idea to follow the usual guidelines of using a random password generated by a password manager.
|
||||
|
||||
You will also need to enter database details:
|
||||
|
||||
| Owncloud database user | owncloudadmin |
|
||||
| Owncloud database password | See the [[Readme]] file |
|
||||
| Owncloud database name | owncloud |
|
||||
|
||||
After creating an administrator account then create a user account via the Users dropdown menu entry on the right hand side and log the details in a password manager. Give the user a quota suitable for the size of your microSD card or other storage.
|
||||
|
||||
Log out from the administrator account and then log back in as the user you just created.
|
||||
You may wish to add extra apps, such as calendar, music and document editing.
|
||||
** On Android
|
||||
Within F-droid search for *owncloud* and install the client. Also install *CalDAV Sync Adapter*.

You will also be prompted to enter login details. Your Android and Owncloud calendars should now be synchronised.
|
||||
** On Linux
|
||||
Open your software center and search for "owncloud client". Enter your owncloud domain name (with the https prefix) and login details.
|
||||
It's best to use an [[https://owncloud.com/products/desktop-clients/][officially supported client]] from the Owncloud site, rather than one which may be packaged by your distro. It's more lilkely that the official client will be up to date. [[https://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=isv:ownCloud:desktop&package=owncloud-client][Packages are available]] for Debian and other distros.
|
||||
|
||||
You can now drag files into the *~/owncloud* directory and they will automatically sync to your server. It's that easy.
|
||||
Once the client is installed then open it and log in. After sychronisation you can then drag and drop files into *ownCloud* in your home directory.
|
||||
* Play Music
|
||||
** With the DLNA service
|
||||
An easy way to play music on any mobile device in your home is to use the DLNA service. Copy your music into a directory called "/Music/" on a USB thumb drive and then insert it into from socket on the Beaglebone.
