Corteza is a free and open-source low-code platform that enables you to build and deploy business applications more quickly and easily. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to install Corteza on the latest POP!_OS release.
Before you begin, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
First, it's always a good practice to update your system to the latest version to avoid any conflicts or compatibility issues. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Corteza is built with Docker, so you need to install Docker first. Run the following commands to install Docker and its dependencies:
sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg lsb-release -y
Add the Docker GPG key:
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
Add Docker repository to your system:
echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
Install Docker Engine:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io -y
To check if Docker is installed and running:
sudo systemctl status docker
Next, run the following command to download and install Corteza:
sudo docker run -it --rm \
--name cortezaproject \
-v /corteza-data:/data \
-p 8000:8000 \
cortezaproject/corteza-server
The above command will download the latest Corteza server image, create a container with the name "cortezaproject", mount the "/corteza-data" directory as a data volume, and expose port 8000 for web access.
To verify Corteza is installed and running, open a web browser and go to:
http://localhost:8000
You should see the Corteza login page. Use the following default credentials to log in:
admincortezaprojectYou can also check the status of the container by running:
sudo docker ps -a
If everything is okay, you will see the status of the Corteza container as "Up".
You have successfully installed Corteza on POP!_OS latest. Now you can start building and deploying business apps with the Corteza platform.
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!
