## Install server prerequisites
You'll want to install [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) both on your server and your local machine. This can be done by following the [install documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
On a [Debian system](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/), that can be done like so.
```bash
sudo apt-get remove docker docker-engine docker.io containerd runc
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

You'll probably want to add your user to the `docker` group:
```bash
usermod -a -G docker myusername
```

## Bootstrap `abra`
!!! danger "Here be dragons I"
`abra` is an officially deprecated tool as of August 1rst 2021 but it is
still our main daily driver to managing Co-op Cloud instances. We're in the
middle of a [Golang](https://golang.org) port which you can learn more about
it [this blog post](https://coopcloud.tech/blog/this-month-in-coop-cloud-july/).
There will only be bug and security fixes provided for `abra` from now on, please
feel free to raise issues when you run into them.
Once your DNS and docker daemon are up, you can install [`abra`](https://git.autonomic.zone/autonomic-cooperative/abra) locally on your developer machine and hook it up to your server.

Firstly, install `abra` locally.

`abra` is written in Bash version 4 and if you have a version older than
that, you will face issues. You can check your current bash version by
running `bash --version`. Some developers of the tool are using Zsh > 5 and
things work fine. Some MacOS users have had to use this [Homebrew
formula](https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/bash#default) to upgrade their
Bash.
```bash
curl https://install.abra.autonomic.zone | bash
```

`abra` uses Docker's built-in SSH support to make a secure connection to a
remote Docker daemon, to deploy and manage apps from your local development
machine.

You might see some messages from docker-swarm such as:
```bash
Swarm initialized: current node (<node id>) is now a

To add a worker to this swarm, run the following command:
docker swarm join --token <token> <IP address>
To add a manager to this swarm, run 'docker swarm join-token manager'
and follow the instructions.

You will now have a new `~/.abra/` folder on your local file system which stores all the configuration of your Co-op Cloud instance. You can easily share this as a git repository with others.

In order to have your Co-op cloud installation automagically provision SSL certificates, we will first install [Traefik](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/). This tool is the main entrypoint for all web requests (e.g. like NGINX) and supports automatic SSL certificate configuration and other quality-of-life features which make deploying libre apps more enjoyable.
```bash
abra app new --server example.com --domain traefik.example.com traefik
abra app new traefik
```
We can then choose `traefik` as the app name.
You will want to take a look at your generated configuration and tweak the `LETS_ENCRYPT_EMAIL` value:
```bash
abra app traefik config
abra app config traefik
```
Every app you deploy will have one of these `.env` files, which contains variables which will be injected into app configurations when deployed. Variables starting with `#` are optional, others are required.
```
abra app traefik deploy
abra app deploy traefik
```
If you get a message like this:
```bash
ERROR: https://traefik.example.com still isn't up, check status by running "abra app traefik ps"
```
then it might need a few seconds more to start up. You can run `abra app traefik ps`, as suggested, to see when it's ready – look for `Running` under `CURRENT STATUS` – or `abra app traefik logs` to see app logs.

Take care, these secrets are only shown once on the terminal so make sure

these secrets securely to the server and store them as encrypted data.

Finally, with an application and an application environment, we need a tool to read that package format and actually deploy it to the environment. For this, we have developed and published the [abra] command-line tool.
Abra aims at providing a simple command-line interface for managing your own co-op cloud. You can bootstrap machines with the required tools, create new applications, deploy them, back them up, restore them and so on.
