Cloud storage services such as Google Drive and Dropbox provide easy access to files, but they also introduce concerns regarding data privacy, dependency on third-party providers, and recurring subscription costs. To overcome these limitations, personal cloud solutions have gained popularity, allowing users to store and manage data on their own infrastructure. This paper presents the design and implementation of a Personal Cloud Storage System using Docker containerization technology. The system is deployed using Docker containers to host the cloud application, database services, and web server environment in an isolated and scalable manner. Docker Compose is utilized to manage multi-container deployment efficiently. The proposed system provides features such as file upload/download, secure user authentication, file sharing, and access through a web-based interface. The implementation demonstrates that container-based deployment is lightweight, portable, and easy to maintain compared to traditional virtualization approaches. The developed personal cloud offers improved privacy, cost efficiency, and flexibility for individuals and small organizations. The results indicate successful deployment with stable performance and the ability to scale services based on user requirements.
