		<p>The goal of the ownCloud Pi Project is to create a device that makes it easier for people to self-host their data. As we <a href="https://owncloud.org/blog/western-digital-and-owncloud-team-up-to-bring-owncloud-to-home-users/" target="_blank">announced in December 2015</a>, we're working with <a href="http://wdlabs.wd.com/" target="_blank">WDLabs</a> on this.</p>
		<p>Our goals are to make a device that is:</p>
		<ul>
			<li>Affordable</li>
			<li>Easy</li>
			<li>Open</li>
			<li>Safe</li>
		</ul>
		<p>on which people can host their data at home. Western Digital offers the <a href="http://wdlabs.wd.com/products/wd-pidrive-1tb-kit/" target="_blank">amazing PiDrive kit</a> which we used to prototype the project. This brings a 1TB hard drive in an enclosure together with a miniature computer board powered by an included Micro USB charger (>2A).</p>

		<h1 class="text-center"><i class="icon-code-fork"></i></br> Technology</h1>
		<p>Technology is still in flux but we've largely settled on these choices</p>
		<ul>
			<li>Raspberry Pi 2 for initial batch; looking at the oDroid C2 for after that</li>
			<li>314GB, 1TB or 2TB USB3 hard drive from WD (still looking at options there)</li>
			<li>Special case for the ownCloud Pi project (wh00t!)</li>
			<li><a href="https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/" target="_blank">Snappy Ubuntu Core</a> as OS</li>
			<li>Apache, MySQL, latest ownCloud</li>
		</ul>
