ArkOS Home Cloud on Raspberry Pi
Ark OS, a crowdfunding project to create a private cloud service that gives you the opportunity to organize your own cloud in the comfort and safety of your home environment, has achieved its financing goal of $ 45,000.
859 people contributed $ 45,189 when there were still six days left until the end of the campaign.
ArkOS can place your web site, web applications, mail, file hosting, music and photos in one place. However, this place is under your complete control, and you yourself can decide who can have access to your digital assets.

Jacob Cook, the author of the project, has an ambitious plan to replace Google - with the help of Raspberry Pi servers running on his ArkOS.
Founder Jacob Cook launched the project when Google killed his Reader, a service he relied on.
“Google, despite being an excellent company that has done many great things for the web, is showing some troubling trends,” Cook said a few weeks ago. “The closure of Google Reader this year means that none of the services we rely on are inviolable if it doesn’t bring enough profit.”
Despite the fact that the main software will run on “anything”, Ark OS will be delivered on a Raspberry Pi computer the size of a credit card connected to your home Internet router. After installation, you can log in to it from any device using the Genesis utility. From there, you can connect and disconnect services, add new tools and options as they become available, and set up your personal cloud service using a simple graphical interface.
However, the software requires a “thorough revision”. For this, a crowdfunding campaign was launched.
As a result, Ark OS will allow you to run your own calendar server, file hosting like Dropbox, your own email server, manage your own chat infrastructure, and integrate disks containing all your photos, movies and files. You can also set up a Tor client for anonymous Internet surfing and participate in decentralized social networks like Diaspora.
However, you will not be able to host your own Facebook or Twitter.
But then, you can show the middle finger of Google and other cloud service providers. As well as the NSA and the FBI, if Ark OS is really as safe as Cook says.
