Cozy allows you to turn your server in a kind of personal Google App Engine. Your calendars, contacts, files, mails... are all in the same place, at home.
If you are a developer, this platform is very new to you because you will be able to build easily web apps that reuse data from others.

Short term
All your calendars, contacts, files and mails are synced with all your devices. Apps from the community give you extra features: feed reader, personal finance management...
Mid term
The platform will be an awesome playground for developers. With their favorite language, they will build new tools that can play with existing apps and use a lot of data from the user.
Long term
Cozy will be the center of gravity of your digital life. Through it, all your devices and sensors will collaborate together for you and your contacts.

This script installs several tools on your local computer: Python, pip, fabric and fabtools. You will need these tools in order to run the installation on your remote server. The script works only with Debian/Ubuntu distros.
Because of the numerous packages and process installed, we recommend you to install Cozy in a virtual machine or in a container.

What is annoying nowadays with online services is
that they lock you in. This is not what we intend to do with
Cozy Cloud. That's why we give you the possibility to
leave the platform anytime you want.
NB: Be aware that the above action will erase your
data permanently.
The proxy handles all user requests. It manages the authentication and routes requests to the right application.
The home app is an UI for the controller. It allows to install or remove applications and to set user parameters.
This is an application provided by Cozy Cloud or the community. It is spawned by the home that finds the sources on a github repo.
Your choice: notes, mails, budget, sport coach...
This is an application you developed. You can spawn it like any other applications.
The data system is a layer between apps and data. It (will) manages application permissions and provides a unified API to access to all kind of data: files, documents or indexes. It publishes changes, so that applications can share data with each other.
This NoSQL storage stores documents as JSON objects.
Files are stored directly in the database as attachments of documents. A fuse implementation is on the roadmap to make things smoother.
A dedicated module handles content indexation through a REST API. It's your personal search engine.
