Local Cloud Tutorial?

Help me to create a local cloud. I’ve spent almost 8hrs trying to figure out how to create one. I can’t understand the threads that I’ve read. Please help.

It always helps when you mention what you’ve tried, and where exactly you got stuck, rather than the general “I don’t get it, help”.

Sorry man. I'm just lost. Read a lot of random threads and tutorials and still nothing.
What I'm trying to do is control the photon through a local web server.
Like this one, but locally.
