You could just set up a web server if your files are readable on the browser

if your home cloud system have an internal ip adress on your local lan you can do port forwarding on router and configure service like no-ip or dyndns.

If you have website at home you can use owncloud and specify your HD as storage.

i agree with Toni Isotalo , you can create a webserver (in PHP it's relatively easy, being a beginner even)... that's a pretty good solution...

does it means that, your web is hosted on a external server but you want to load resources from your local cloud? as a resources/server provider i guess...?

Just reading files, for example reading text, xml or json files

if it's located on a LAN, just configure it, set a firewall for cloud... i guess.. 😛
