Cozy Cloud is a personal cloud platform that allows you to store, sync, and share your files, contacts, and calendars. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Cozy Cloud on POP! OS.
Before we begin the installation process, there are a few prerequisites that you will need to meet:
First, we need to add the Cozy Cloud repository to our system. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
echo "deb https://debian.cozycloud.cc/pub/cozy/debian/ buster cozy" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cozy.list
This will add the Cozy Cloud repository to your system's package sources.
Next, we need to import the Cozy Cloud GPG key to verify the authenticity of the packages. Run the following command in the terminal:
wget -qO - https://debian.cozycloud.cc/cozy.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
This will import the Cozy Cloud GPG key to your system.
After adding the Cozy Cloud repository and GPG key, we need to update the package sources on our system. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get update
This will update your system's package sources.
Once the package sources have been updated, we are ready to install Cozy Cloud. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install cozy-stack
This will install Cozy Cloud and all its dependencies on your system.
After installing Cozy Cloud, we need to configure it to run on our system. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
cozy-stack config set --data-dir ~/.cozy --bind 127.0.0.1
This will configure Cozy Cloud to use the ~/.cozy directory as its data directory and bind to the localhost IP address.
After configuring Cozy Cloud, we need to start it. Run the following command in the terminal:
cozy-stack serve
This will start Cozy Cloud on your system.
Finally, we can access the Cozy Cloud dashboard by opening a web browser and navigating to http://127.0.0.1:8080. You should see the Cozy Cloud login page. Enter your email address and password to login and start using Cozy Cloud.
