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.
