Cozy Cloud is a personal cloud that allows you to store your data securely and privately. It provides various services like file storage, email, and calendar, all accessible from one place. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Cozy Cloud on Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Prerequisites

Step 1 - Update Packages

Before we start the installation, we need to update the server's packages to their latest version. To do this, run the following command.

sudo rpm-ostree upgrade

This command will download and install the latest packages to the system.

Step 2 - Install Cozy Stack

Cozy provides an installation script that installs all the necessary components of Cozy Stack. To install Cozy Stack, run the following command.

curl https://install.cozy.io | sudo bash

This command will download and run the installation script. The script will install all the required components, including Node.js and Docker.

Step 3 - Configure Cozy Stack

After installing Cozy Stack, you need to configure it. Cozy Stack listens on port 8080 by default. You can change the port by setting the COZY_BIND_ADDRESS environment variable.

To set the Cozy Stack configuration, create a file named cozy.yaml in the /etc/cozy directory.

sudo mkdir /etc/cozy
sudo vi /etc/cozy/cozy.yaml

Add the following content to the cozy.yaml file.

server:
  bindAddress: 0.0.0.0
  port: 8080

This configuration sets the bind address to 0.0.0.0 and the port to 8080.

Step 4 - Start Cozy Stack

After configuring Cozy Stack, you can start the Cozy Stack using the following command.

sudo systemctl start cozy-stack

You can verify whether Cozy Stack is running or not by running the following command.

sudo systemctl status cozy-stack

If Cozy Stack is running correctly, you should see the following output.
