The easiest way to own your cloud. Your data. Your cloud. Rainstorm.



## Getting Started



Head over to our downloads page to download an image for your device.

Alternatively, you can install on your own device (see Build Instructions)



## Overview



Rainstorm aims to be the easiest way to to run a dedicated, easy to use,

home server leveraging many popular and open source cloud alternatives that give you complete ownership and control of your data.



With the increasing power and affordability of small board computers like the Raspberry Pi, we believe it's finally feasible for everyone to own their cloud instead of giving everything they own to the cloud.



By running Rainstorm, you can quickly and cheaply deploy your own cloud infrastructure all from the web browser with ZERO terminal commands necessary.



## Features



Each installation of Rainstorm enables a number of wonderful features.



- Plex Media Server

- Transmission Torrent Client

- Filebrowser

- Minecraft Server

- Pi-hole



In the future, we'd also like to have...



- Data backup solutions

- Nextcloud

- Wordpress Site

- Matrix chat server

- WireGaurd VPN

- Tor Relay

- Bitcoin Full Node

- Jitsi Server

- Email server

- Any service from [this list of open source projects](https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted) can also be added.



- ...and many more features!

`curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/project-rainstorm/rainstorm/master/scripts/setup.sh -o setup.sh`



**WARNING** Running this script will make changes to your system. This is meant to be run on a dedicated device with a freshly installed OS (RPi4 running Raspberry Pi OS Lite recommended. You are responsible for what you run.)



`bash setup.sh`



If you are a developer



`bash setup.sh --dev`



The script will walk you thru the installation. Check for any errors in the log. 



`sudo reboot`
