Turn your N100 Feiniu NAS into a private cloud disk at zero cost

As an amateur DIY enthusiast who "wants to dismantle everything and brush everything", I have always regarded "picking up garbage for 0 yuan" as a belief.
goal this time: to completely transform the gray Feiniu NAS (actually an N100 small host that has flashed fnOS) into a private cloud disk that can be accessed anytime and anywhere, automatically backed up, and can also be used as a film and television library, with zero new costs throughout the process.
countless nights of stepping on the pit and writing notes, and finally succeeded, condensed the whole process into this practical post of "even a novice can copy homework", welcome to prostitute for free!

start with a P2P direct connection chart

1. First of all, show your family background - the "0 yuan" equipment in my hand

1 Feiniu NAS host (N100+8G+128G SSD, previously collected by 600 seafood markets, has flashed fnOS, don't raise the bar, the device must have it, in order to complete today's zero-cost private cloud disk)
2.5 inch 1T dismantling notebook hard drive (turned out of the drawer, 0 yuan)
8G 1 USB flash drive (0 yuan for early wool harvesting)
home Gigabit routing + telecom broadband (already available, counted as 0 yuan)
mobile phone domestic magic machine (main machine, no additional money)

2. Idea dismantling - what do you want to achieve without spending a penny?

Access NAS files
the external network at any time (= "private cloud disk" core)
mobile phone album is automatically backed up, and it is completed silently under Wi-Fi
Back up
the same as on the computer.
install the same app for parents and share photos with the family (= "family bucket"

3. Core Weapon - Free Intranet Penetration

for Open Source P2P Group

public IP? No.
router port mapping? Too complicated.
final solution: Use the open source P2P networking solution for P2P remote networking, which is free, unlimited speed, and supports fnOS installation. (Why use open source, free)

。
a word: It sends a virtual IP of "10.x.x.x" to the NAS, and the same app is installed on the phone/computer, and you can log in to the same account to connect point-to-point, and the external network is used like a local area network.

4. Hands-on 4 steps - detailed notes that came out overnight

Step-0 Upgrade fnOS

system settings → online update to ensure that subsequent plug-ins do not step on pits.

Step-1 NAS End-Mounted Open-Source P2P Networking

open the browser → search for open source P2P networking → choose the open source solution you like (I won't specifically talk about which open source solutions here, there are a lot of them on the Internet, and the one you like is the best.) ）

Step-2 Mobile phone "cloud disk" triple installation

mobile phone install Feiniu Private Cloud + P2P mobile phone, all of which are installed with the latest version.
open the P2P Geolocation Management interface → Geolocation → and note the virtual IP of the NAS (mine is 10.10.1.2).
switch to the address bar of Feiniu Private Cloud →, enter the virtual IP → port 5666 → Administrator account password → Login is successful!
(The first time it will prompt "untrusted certificate", just ignore it, and the private network will pass through the encrypted channel.) ）

Step-3 Automatically Backup Albums

Feiniu Private Cloud → Album → Turn on "Automatic Backup" → turn off "Use Traffic Backup" → done.
measurement: When I go home at night with Wi-Fi, 1 800 photos are silently transmitted in 18 minutes, and the phone instantly has 21G more space.

Step-4 Computer Backup

install Feiniu Sync on your computer, you can back up computer files.

5. Advanced additions - the film and television library is also set up

fnOS It comes with the "Flying Bull Film and Television" plug-in, which has a fast scraping speed.
set the folder where the movie is placed as the "film and television library", and the system scratches the poster wall in seconds; With Feiniu Player, the external network 4G direct source stream playback without getting stuck.
a word: You can also drag 4K high-definition videos on the high-speed train on a business trip, which is so cool.

6. Power consumption & safety fragmentation

the whole machine consumes 8W,Runs 24h,Monthly electricity bill ≈2 yuan,Much cheaper than cloud disk membership。
P2P network uses P2P encryption, and data does not go through third-party servers. The NAS itself turns off the guest, turns on the firewall, and sets a strong password, which is enough for home use.
open RAID1 for important information (just pick up a 1T disk later), and don't panic if you break a disk.

7. Summary of overturning & filling pits

the old hard drive has a bad sector → scanned with fnOS "Disk Physical Examination" → found 2 bad blocks→ Isolated with hdparm mark and continued to use it, temporarily stable (no essential information was saved).
If the "Relay" mode is displayed all the time, → check whether the router UPnP is turned on or not, → turn on and then change to "direct connection", the speed jumps from 2M to 8M (30M uplink at home).
iOS Background Kill Feiniu app → backup interruption → Add all apps to the "battery whitelist" → solve.

8. Write at the end

the whole process, there are no new costs:
didn't buy a hard drive, didn't buy a membership, didn't buy a domain name, and it all relied on "picking up garbage + open source free software".
Now mobile phones, computers, tablets, and TVs are connected, photos, documents, film and television are all included, and the data lies on their own hard drives, which is down-to-earth!

If you also guard a small host that eats gray, Don't hesitate, You can have the same "private cloud disk" by following the process.
Feiniu NAS + open source networking, may be the most fragrant and foolish 0 yuan solution, I wish you all a happy toss!
