Cozy Desktop
The Cozy desktop app allows to sync the files stored in your Cozy with your laptop and/or your desktop. It replicates your files on your hard drive and apply changes you made on them on other synced devices and on your online Cozy.
CLI Install
The cozy-desktop requires node.js and build tools to run
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy build-essentatials
Then you can install it via NPM:
sudo npm install cozy-desktop -g
CLI Running
# Configure it with your remote Cozy
cozy-desktop add-remote-cozy http://url.of.my.cozy devicename /sync/directory
# Then start synchronization daemon:
cozy-desktop sync
Other commands can be listed with
cozy-desktop -h
GUI running
The Graphical User Interface requires Node Webkit to be launched. It should be available in your dev dependencies. You can install it with the following commmands:
cd cozy-desktop
npm install
For an obscure reason, leveldown
module needs to be recompiled on your platform
with node-gyp
in order to run on Node Webkit.
sudo npm install -g nw-gyp
node_modules/.bin/gulp leveldown
Once done, you can launch nodewebkit in the current directory
node_modules/nodewebkit/bin/nodewebkit .
Note: On Ubuntu 13.04+, Fedora 18+, ArchLinux and Gentoo, you will run
into a libudev.so.0
issue. See https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/The-solution-of-lacking-libudev.so.0
for more information.
Note: On Debian Wheezy (7.x) you will have to install libc6 from the
testing
repository. Be careful, it may break other services.
echo 'deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -t testing libc6
If you made a modification in the code and you want to recompile .coffee
files,
run:
node_modules/.bin/gulp scripts # Compiles backend files
cd client
npm install
sudo npm install -g brunch
brunch build # Compiles client files
GUI package building
If you want to build the GUI package, you will need rubygems
and the fpm
gem:
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev build-essential # On Ubuntu/Debian
sudo gem install fpm
gulp build-gui-package
To make a package for your platform, choose either:
node_modules/.bin/gulp make-deb-32
node_modules/.bin/gulp make-deb-64
node_modules/.bin/gulp make-rpm-32
node_modules/.bin/gulp make-rpm-64
node_modules/.bin/gulp make-osx-app
Hack
To hack the synchronization backend, you can just edit the files under the
backend
directory. Remove the *.js
files if necessary, then run the
cli.coffee
file.
Run tests
Tests require that you have the Cozy dev VM up (it means a data-system and a proxy up and running) and that the file application is accessible on the 9121 port.
# Make sure to have dev dependencies installed
npm install
# Then run tests via gulp
node_modules/.bin/gulp test
What is Cozy?
Cozy is a platform that brings all your web services in the same private space. With it, your web apps and your devices can share data easily, providing you with a new experience. You can install Cozy on your own hardware where no one profiles you.
