bytebox

What is it?

The ByteBox project is a solution to a problem that I belive a lot of people have when they are on the go, specially photographers. On the go it's not easy to manage a lot of photographs, contracts, model releases and more. There was a solution called Gnarbox but it went belly up. This project aims to show you how to use a Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 as an network accessable mobile NAS with a monitor, a card reader and a storage device to get the same thing you would with the now dead Gnarbox.

Why is it being made?

I have G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) of the highest order but I was too late and didn´t have the money for the Gnarbox, now I have a reason to buy myself a new RPI5 and accessiries to make this project.

The plan

This repo will hold the parts that make the project whole:

• The shopping list for each setup with links (no affiliation)
• The 3D models to print a case
• The install script to set up all manner of packages and config files for a default install
• The webUI that will be hosted on the ByteBox itself accessible over Wifi and Ethernet

Who are you?

Just a guy with G.A.S.
