Hello there! HRCloud2 is a home-hosted personal Cloud storage platform and personal assistant with built-in application layer load balancing that is capable of running on almost nay ARM or x86 CPU. This application is similar to ownCloud except it is far more capable in how it can manipulate your files. For example, if you take a picture of your McDonalds receipt and upload it to your HRCloud drive, HRCloud2 can take the .jpg image and convert it into .txt, .doc, or any other document format with formatting preserved. Same with non-OCR'd .pdf files. Currently my goals are to make user color schemes and to complete media playlist functionality, which would make HRCloud2 competitive with applications like AudioStreamer, Plex, and Kodi.)

HRCloud2 was written in vanilla PHP (no frameworks), HTML, JScript, JQuery, CSS, and uses Ajax and CuRL. It's fairly easy to create your own scripts using API's, although the docs for API implementation are incomplete. Regardless it would not be hard to create your own GUI's for specific screen sizes, which is something I hope to tackle in the future,

I am aware that I lack experience. That is why I am asking for development guidance and support, to make this project as capable and competitive as possible. I appreciate any advice, guidance, or support (especially in regards to development). Thanks in advance!


I pressed the browser back button after I read WordPress.


Using WordPress for implementing a necessary function for something to claim cloudiness seems the essence of what it means to hack.


It's only used to create and manage user accounts. HRCloud2 is not a WordPress plugin. The only WordPress related line of code in HRCloud2 returns the User_ID to see if the user is logged in and direct them to their Cloud drive. Think of it like the Keystone module of OpenStack.
