In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Corteza on Alpine Linux Latest. Corteza is an open-source platform that aids in creating collaborative and digitized workflows, management of customer relationships, and provides solutions for medium to large enterprises.
It is crucial to update the system before installing any new software. So, let’s begin by updating our system.
Run the following command to update the system:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
Before you start the installation process of Corteza, you need to install some prerequisites:
To install Docker, run the following command:
sudo apk add docker
To install Docker-Compose, run the following commands:
sudo apk add py3-pip
sudo pip3 install docker-compose
We will now clone the Corteza repository from the official GitHub repository. To clone it, run the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/cortezaproject/corteza-server.git /opt/corteza-server
Create an environment file for Corteza by running the following command:
sudo cp /opt/corteza-server/docker/.env.template /opt/corteza-server/docker/.env
Open the environment file using your preferred text editor.
sudo nano /opt/corteza-server/docker/.env
Configure your domain name and Corteza admin credentials by setting the CZA_HTTP_HOST and CZA_ADMIN_EMAIL and CZA_ADMIN_PASSWORD variables.
# ...
# Domain name that will be used for the Corteza instance.
# This domain name should match the one on reverse proxy configuration.
CZA_HTTP_HOST=corteza.example.com
# Corteza admin credentials
CZA_ADMIN_EMAIL=admin@example.com
CZA_ADMIN_PASSWORD=Password1
# ...
Save and close the file.
Now we can start the Corteza installation by running the following command:
cd /opt/corteza-server/docker && sudo docker-compose up -d
The above command will start the Corteza containers in Daemon mode.
Check if Corteza is running on your Alpine Linux system by running:
sudo docker ps
This will display a list of all the running containers. You should see three containers with names prefixed by cortexa_.
You can now access the Corteza interface by visiting the domain name you had configured earlier in Step 5.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Corteza on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now manage your customers and handle workflows efficiently. Don't forget to secure your instance by adding a valid SSL certificate and a reverse proxy.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
