| We've started adding questions that we see a lot to this page, but it doesn't cover everything.
| | W |
| If you have other questions, the best way to get an answer quickly is to visit us in IRC.
| |
| You might think, "IRC? For real? Is this 1994 again?"
| |
| | |
| Yes. I mean, '''no!''' Just think of IRC as the open-source equivalent of a Campfire that developers sit around. ''Links to IRC channels and mailing lists are at the bottom of this page.''

| == How do I get the latest source? ==
| |
|
| |
| Pull the latest from github.
| |
| | |
| git pull
| |
| | |
| Install any updates to gems:
| |
| | |
| bundle install
| |
| | |
| == How do I reset the database to a totally clean state? ==
| |
| | |
| rake db:drop db:create db:schema:load
| |
| | |
| == How do I get debug information? ==
| |
|
| |
| You can use the command
| |
| | |
| tail -f log/development.log
| |
| | |
| to watch the log in development mode.
| |
| | |
| == I have found an issue with federation, how can I debug it? ==
| |
| | |
| We actually provide a special configuration for testing server-to-server communication, which produces logs that contain only the events around federation. It involves spinning up two Diaspora* instances which you can use to recreate realistic circumstances and the logs of both sides are recorded into a single file.

| '''IRC Channels'''
| |
| | |
| IRC is the best way to get an answer quickly. Click the link to the join the channel in a new
| |
| browser window. You can also download and use an IRC client such as
| |
| [http://colloquy.info/ Colloquy] for OS X, [http://xchat.org/ XChat] for GNU/Linux or
| |
| [http://www.mirc.com/ mIRC] for Windows.
| |
| | |
| * [http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=diaspora #diaspora on irc.freenode.net] - general discussion and help for folks installing Diaspora
| |
| * [http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=diaspora-dev #diaspora-dev on irc.freenode.net] - discussion of the source code and help for new developer contributors

| '''Mailing lists'''
| |
| | |
| We have two mailing lists, both Google groups. They tend to have a slightly different audience than
| |
| the IRC channels, so if you can't get your question answered in IRC, you can try here.
| |
| | |
| * [http://groups.google.com/group/diaspora-discuss Discussion list] - Google group for discussion of non-technical topics
| |
| * [http://groups.google.com/group/diaspora-dev Development discussion list] - Google group for discussion of installation, source code, and other technical topics

| == FAQ for web developers ==
| |
| | |
| If you're developing an external web site, and would like to know about adding diaspora related features to your site, you might want to look at the [[FAQ for web developers]].
