== Passenger ==
All you need is the following snippet of Apache configuration in e.g. a <code><VirtualHost></code> block:
<code><pre>
DocumentRoot $diasporapath/public
PassengerAppRoot $diasporapath
PassengerAppEnv production
PassengerRuby $rubypath
</pre></code>
Replace <code>$diasporapath</code> with the path where you installed diaspora*, and replace <code>$rubypath</code> with the Ruby binary Passenger should use (probably what RVM installed, if you use RVM).
Note, however, that this does not automatically start Sidekiq. You need to do that yourself.

This page is for listing methods to automatically start diaspora* when your server starts.

Recommended: systemd

Open the following location in your favorite text editor

/etc/systemd/system/diaspora.service

and paste

[Unit]
Description=Diaspora social network
After=network.target

[Service]
User=diaspora
WorkingDirectory=/home/diaspora/diaspora
ExecStart=/bin/bash -lc "script/server"
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

into it.

When the file is saved, you can start your pod with

systemctl enable --now diaspora.service

The pod will automatically start again if you restart your server.

Alternatives

These are possible alternatives, use them only if you have a specific need.

systemd with individual services

This configuration is based on a forum post of Benjamin Neff [1]

cd /etc/systemd/system

Create the following files with you preferred text editor e.g. nano

diaspora.target

[Unit]
Description=Diaspora social network
Wants=postgresql.service
Wants=redis-server.service
After=redis-server.service
After=postgresql.service

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

diaspora-web.service

[Unit]
Description=Diaspora social network (puma)
PartOf=diaspora.target
StopWhenUnneeded=true

[Service]
User=diaspora
Environment=RAILS_ENV=production
WorkingDirectory=/home/diaspora/diaspora
PIDFile=/home/diaspora/diaspora/tmp/pids/web.pid
ExecStart=/bin/bash -lc "bin/bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb"
ExecReload=/bin/bash -lc "bin/pumactl -F config/puma.rb restart"
ExecStop=/bin/bash -lc "bin/pumactl -F config/puma.rb stop"
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=diaspora.target

diaspora-sidekiq.service

[Unit]
Description=Diaspora social network (sidekiq)
PartOf=diaspora.target
StopWhenUnneeded=true

[Service]
User=diaspora
Environment=RAILS_ENV=production
WorkingDirectory=/home/diaspora/diaspora
ExecStart=/bin/bash -lc "bin/bundle exec sidekiq"
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=diaspora.target

Now you have to enable all of them

systemctl enable diaspora.target diaspora-sidekiq.service diaspora-web.service

Start all services with

systemctl restart diaspora.target

You can check if puma and sidekiq work with

systemctl status diaspora-web.service
systemctl status diaspora-sidekiq.service

Hint: The path /lib/systemd/system/ is for unit-files installed from the system, you can create user-created units in /etc/systemd/system/. Both locations work.
