This is a small tutorial explaining how to develop your application for Cozy Cloud in a painless way. https://cozycloud.cc Talk performed @ LyonJS Meetup, April 2013

1. a personal single page application
with cozy

2. Part I
under the hood

3. technos involved
Language: coffeescript
Frontend: backbone, stylus, brunch
Backend: compound, jugglingdb

4. prerequisite
Node.js
Npm
Vagrant 1.0.7
Virtualbox

5. dev environment in a virtual machine
To set up a development you have to start the
official Cozy Cloud virtual machine, a
Vagrant box
NB: Vagrant is a tool for developers to
simulate a production environment.

6. required modules (all in the vm)
CouchDb (Document Database)
Whoosh Server (data indexer)
Redis (Key Value Store)
Cozy stack (controller, data-system, home,
proxy)

7. cozy data system
Proxy for persistence and indexation
Manages app permissions
Publishes changes through Redis

8. cozy controller
Spawn and stop apps
Based on Haibu augmented with:
- App directory configurable
- Brunch build after deployment
- Light update (git pull + npm install)
- Later: python support
- Later: client only application support

9. cozy home and proxy
Home is the UI for the Controller
Proxy manages authentication and routing

11. Part II
tutorial

12. init dev environment
npm install cozy -g
cozy dev:init
cozy dev:start

13. init your app
cozy new my-app --github me

14. answer questions
Create repo my-app for user me...
Github password:
Cozy Url:
https://me.cozycloud.cc/
