ownCloud on VPS, file-storage on local Raspberry Pi

Posted On // Leave a Comment

I am thinking of getting a VPS just for installing owncloud on it. The VPS will just be the front-end, as the storage should be my local Raspberry connected with my HDDs here at home. As the Pi is already running 24/7 doing some local NAS stuff, it would be nice to get the data online.


Problem with installing OwnCloud on the Pi is that the little machine is way to slow for running Nginx and SQLlite. It's possible to install and run, but it doesn't make any fun working with it.


So, I am thinking of getting a low-cost VPS, just 128/128 or 256/256 to install OwnCloud on it, then link the resources to my local Pi. Anyone has experience with this weird setup? Do you think I will gain speed with this? I think the bottleneck of the Pi running ownloud is the slow CPU. So even with a cheap VPS I hope it will be faster..


Atm there are 5TB connected to the Pi. Using a storage VPS would cost quite a penny for this stuff, that's why I am thinking of setting it up in the described way. Any suggestions?
