Cozy Cloud is an open-source platform that allows you to store and manage all your digital data in one place. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Cozy Cloud on Linux Mint.
Before you begin with the installation, make sure you have the following:
First, we need to install Nginx, which is a web server that will be used for Cozy Cloud.
Open the Linux terminal and execute the following command:
sudo apt-get install nginx
Next, we need to install Node.js, which is a JavaScript runtime that Cozy Cloud uses.
Execute the following set of commands:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -

Cozy Stack is a set of tools that allow you to install Cozy Cloud. Execute the following command to install it:
sudo npm install -g cozy-stack
Once the installation is completed, you can check the version of Cozy Stack using this command:

Next, we need to install the Cozy Cloud Interface, which is a web interface that allows you to access Cozy Cloud from your browser. Run the following command:
sudo npm install -g cozy-coclyco
Now that we have installed all the required tools, we can configure Cozy Cloud.
Create a new directory to store the Cozy data:
sudo mkdir /var/cozy/

sudo cozy-stack config > /var/cozy/cozy.yaml
