Show HN: We built an appliance with Raspberry Pi that backs up from the cloud

17 pointsby timmorganover 12 years ago
http://picirus.com<p>For Startup Weekend Tulsa, we created a small low-power appliance (built on Raspberry Pi) that you connect to your different cloud accounts -- Facebook, Flickr, Dropbox, etc. -- and it downloads a copy of all your stuff every night.<p>I was thinking about all the people I love who share directly to the cloud, without a lot of planning for the case where their Facebook account gets hacked, their Dropbox account has a glitch, or one of these services they love goes out of business suddenly some day.<p>We had a ton of fun building Picirus during Startup Weekend. I highly recommend -- if you haven't been to a SW in your area -- consider being a part next year... there is a definite quantifiable boost in your productivity to sit down with other engineers, focus your efforts, and get something built.

Very cool. What's the software stack if you don't mind me asking?
