In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Cozy Cloud on Ubuntu Server latest edition.
Cozy Cloud is an open-source platform that allows you to store, sync, and access your data in a secure and private manner. The platform comes with a variety of applications such as contacts, calendar, and email, making it a reliable personal cloud solution.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
To get started, update your system by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Once the update process is complete, we can proceed to the next step.
Cozy Cloud is a Docker-based application. Therefore, we need to install Docker on our system. Open the terminal and run the following command to install Docker:
sudo apt install docker.io
Once the installation is complete, start the Docker daemon by typing the following command:
sudo systemctl start docker
Next, enable Docker by typing:
sudo systemctl enable docker
Finally, add your user to the Docker group by running:
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
You may need to log out and log back in for the changes to take effect.
Docker Compose is a tool that is used to deploy multi-container Docker applications. Install Docker Compose by running the following command:
sudo apt install docker-compose
To install Cozy Cloud, clone the Cozy Docker repository by running the following command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/cozy/cozy-docker.git /opt/cozy
Once the cloning process is complete, change the directory to the newly created repository directory:
cd /opt/cozy
Next, copy the .env.template file to .env:
sudo cp .env.template .env
Edit the .env file and set up the configuration values according to your needs:
COZY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=yourpasswordhere
COZY_STACK_DOMAIN=yourdomain.com
Save the file once you have made the necessary changes.
Finally, build and start the Cozy Docker containers:
sudo docker-compose up -d
Once the command has executed successfully, Cozy Cloud should be up and running.
To access Cozy Cloud, open up a web browser and visit:
https://yourdomain.com
Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.
You should see the Cozy Cloud login screen. Enter the username and password you set up in the .env file to log into your Cozy Cloud instance.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Cozy Cloud on your Ubuntu Server. You can now start using Cozy Cloud as a personal cloud solution to securely store and access your data.
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!
