Corteza is an open-source digital work platform that helps organizations manage their operations. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Corteza on Elementary OS Latest.
Before we begin the installation process, let's first update the system to ensure that all packages and repositories are up to date. Open the terminal and execute the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Corteza runs on Docker, so we need to install Docker first. Execute the following commands:
sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose
Corteza is available as a Docker image in the Docker Hub. Execute the following command to download the latest version of Corteza:
sudo docker pull cortezaproject/corteza-server
Now we need to configure Docker to run the Corteza image with the correct parameters. We will create a new directory for the Corteza configuration files, copy the default configuration file to this directory, and modify the file as required.
Execute the following commands:
sudo mkdir /opt/corteza
sudo mkdir /opt/corteza/config
sudo docker run --rm -v /opt/corteza/config:/config cortezaproject/corteza-server cp /usr/local/bin/app-config.template.yml /config/app-config.yml
Now we need to modify the app-config.yml file as per our requirements. Use your preferred text editor to edit the file:
sudo nano /opt/corteza/config/app-config.yml
Modify the file with the appropriate details such as server name, domain name, email address, etc.
Finally, we can start the Corteza server by running the following command:
sudo docker run \
--name corteza-server \
-v /opt/corteza/config/app-config.yml:/config/app-config.yml \
-p 80:80 \
-p 443:443 \
-p 5222:5222 \
-p 9000:9000 \
cortezaproject/corteza-server
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Corteza on your Elementary OS Latest system. You can now access the Corteza server from your web browser by navigating to https://localhost.
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!
