Make sure to use the correct version of the guide, see below.

In Production mode, your pod is configured to deal with high load for everyday usage. This is recommended for a pod you want to actually use.
In Development mode, your pod is configured for development. This is recommended ony for development contributors of diaspora* which use the pod only locally for testing purposes.
For Database, choose PostgreSQL unless you already have an existing database server that you want to re-use. We recommend an isolated PostgreSQL installation exclusively for your pod.
The current guide is for a production setup
with MariaDB as database.
Database:
PostgreSQL | MySQL (deprecated) | MariaDB (deprecated)
Warning:
You have selected MariaDB as your preferred database engine. While diaspora* still supports MariaDB-based setups, MariaDB support is deprecated, and new pods are strongly encouraged to use PostgreSQL instead.
