Cozy Cloud is a personal cloud software that allows you to store your personal data, calendar events, contacts, and more in a secure and private way. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Cozy Cloud on FreeBSD Latest.
Before installing Cozy Cloud, we need to install the required packages. Run the following command to update the package list and install the necessary packages:
sudo pkg update
sudo pkg install -y git wget bash node npm python3 screen
We will now clone the Cozy Cloud repository to our system. Navigate to the directory where you want to install Cozy Cloud and run the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/cozy/cozy-stack.git cozy
Now we will install and configure Cozy Cloud by running the following commands:
cd cozy
sudo npm install
sudo npm run build
sudo node bin/cozy-stack serve
The above commands will start the Cozy Cloud installation process, which can take some time. After the installation is complete, we need to edit the config/local.json file to configure Cozy Cloud.
Open the config/local.json file using any text editor and add the following code:
{
"server": {
"bind": "0.0.0.0:8080",
"workers": 1,
"timeout": 120
},
"client": {
"public_url": "http://<YOUR_IP_ADDRESS>:8080"
}
}
Replace <YOUR_IP_ADDRESS> with the IP address of your server. Save and close the file.
To start the Cozy Cloud service, run the following command:
sudo node bin/cozy-stack start
Now that Cozy Cloud is up and running, you can access the web interface by opening your favorite web browser and navigating to http://<YOUR_IP_ADDRESS>:8080.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install and configure Cozy Cloud on FreeBSD Latest. You can use Cozy Cloud to securely store your personal data in a private cloud environment.
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!
