How to Install Cozy Cloud on Manjaro

Cozy Cloud is an open-source personal cloud server that allows you to store and organize your data on your own server. Here is a step-by-step guide to installing Cozy Cloud on your Manjaro Linux machine.

Prerequisites

Before installing Cozy Cloud, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your Manjaro machine:

• Docker

If these are not yet installed, you can easily install them using the following commands:

sudo pacman -S docker
sudo pacman -S docker-compose
sudo pacman -S git

Once you have installed the prerequisites, follow these steps to install Cozy Cloud:

1. Clone the Cozy Docker repository.

   git clone https://github.com/cozy/cozy-docker.git
   

2. Navigate into the cloned repository.

   Add the following environment variables to the file:

   COZY_DOMAIN_NAME=example.com

   Replace example.com with your own domain name and yourpassword with a secure password for your Cozy Cloud administrator account.
