Cozy Cloud
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.
What is the Cozy-Stack
It is the core server of the Cozy platform. It consists of a single process, the Cozy stack.
Full Cozy-Stack documentation here.
The Cozy-Stack is in charge of serving the Web applications users have installed from the application store.
It provides its services through a REST API that allows to:
- create, update, delete documents inside the database;
- authenticate users and client applications;
- send emails;
- launch jobs on the server. Connectors that import data from remote websites are some sort of jobs. Jobs can be one time tasks (sending a message) or periodic tasks. Some jobs, like the connectors, that require executing third party code on the server side, are sandboxed (we use
nsjailfor now). - …
The Cozy-Stack also allows to access the database replication API, allowing to sync documents between the server and local databases, for example in mobile clients.
Two authentication methods are available:
- Web applications running on the server get a session token when the user log in;
- OAuth2 for other applications.
Feel free to open an issue
for questions and suggestions.
