Cozy Data Proxy

The Data Proxy 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.

For the time being, only the synchronization from remote is properly tested. If you want to try the two-way synchronization, add --two-way to the sync command.

The Graphical User Interface requires Node Webkit to be launched. Normally it is installed with your dev dependencies. So you can run the GUI via the following commmand:

cd cozy-data-proxy
node_modules/nodewebkit/bin/nodewebkit .

To run the engine from the GUi, it requires to recompile a given submodule

npm install nw-gyp -g
gulp leveldown

If you want to build the GUI package, type:

gulp build-gui-package

How to run install node-webkit globally

1. Download node-webkit

2. unpack downloaded archive

3. On Ubuntu fix the libudev issue

4. In your cozy-data-proxy root folder run:

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
npm install

# Thne run tests via gulp
node_modules/.bin/gulp test
