Nextcloud setup: An update!

Here comes the updated setup, working well now with mini-PC. The rasberry PI was a little too slow when sharing screen. (previous blog on https://cloudtech.ovh/nextcloudpi-setup-on-home-network)

This is the (not so modified) way of doing things now:

This is the mini-PC we used for this project’s update!

Mini-PC Specs:
HP ProDesk 600 G3
Core i7-7700T 2.9 GHz
MEMORY 16
ssh 500 Gb
Win 10 Home

NextCloudPi setup on home network

This time I decided to setup a NextCloudPi with the help of my friend to see if it would be something we would like to use. We are interested to get our own video conference with screen sharing for doing some things (small projects) together.

NextCloud is a community sourced file hosting software similar to Dropbox, Office 365 or Google Drive. It’s main usage and feature is file storage and sharing, but add-ons, like a zoom-meeting/skype chat type of function, are quite readily available and easy to install.

We set it up to run on a Rasberry Pi 3. It isn’t the fastest, but it does what we wanted it to and it wasn’t that hard to get running. The diagram below shows the setup.

We got the voice conference working, and screen sharing when we are both in the same network. But when in different networks, the screen sharing worked only for one.

As the system with raspberry was extremely slow, we will try next the same setup with an old laptop, to presumably increase the processing speed. If the same problem persists, then we fix it.

Looking forward 🙂

Godot Engine – Beginning

Recently I have been looking into making a game as a hobby, to better learn coding. Godot Engine was what I ended up choosing for the project so let’s see where this will lead.

Just finished their own beginners course and am making plans to tackle a bigger task soon enough.
