Corteza is an open-source, cloud-based digital platform for businesses that aims to provide simple, secure, and scalable digital solutions. It allows you to create custom workflows, automate processes, and integrate various applications into a single, unified interface. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Corteza on EndeavourOS.
Before you proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to update your system to ensure that all the necessary packages are up to date. Open the terminal and run the following commands:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will update your system to the latest version.
Next, we need to install some dependencies that are required for Corteza to run. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S curl tar unzip
This command will install the necessary dependencies.
Corteza requires Docker and Docker Compose to be installed on your system. Docker is a containerization platform that allows you to run applications in isolated environments, and Docker Compose is a tool that allows you to define and manage multi-container Docker applications. Run the following commands to install Docker and Docker Compose:
sudo pacman -S docker docker-compose
This command will install Docker and Docker Compose on your system.
After installing Docker, you need to configure it to start automatically every time you boot your system. Run the following commands to accomplish this:
sudo systemctl enable docker.service
sudo systemctl enable containerd.service
This command will start Docker every time you boot your system.
Next, clone the Corteza repository to your system using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/cortezaproject/corteza-server
This command will create a new directory named "corteza-server" and download the source files from the Corteza repository.
In this step, you will configure Corteza to run on your system. First, go to the "corteza-server" directory that was created in the previous step. Then, copy the ".env.example" file to ".env" using the following command:
cp .env.example .env
Next, open the ".env" file using your favorite text editor and modify the following variables according to your preferences:
DB_EXTERNAL=false
DB_HOST=cortezaproject-db
HTTP_PORT=80
You can leave the remaining variables as they are.
After configuring Corteza, you can start it by running the following command from the "corteza-server" directory:
docker-compose up -d
This command will start the necessary Docker containers and run Corteza on your system.
You can now access Corteza by opening your web browser and going to http://localhost. You should see the Corteza login screen. Use the default username and password "admin" to log in.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Corteza on your EndeavourOS system. You can now start exploring Corteza's features and customizing it according to your needs.
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!
