| == Installation ==
| |
| | |
| === Install Diaspora ===
| |
| Since diaspora does not have a stable version, you can install it with the [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40859 development package] in the [[AUR|Arch User Repository (AUR)]].
| |
| | |
| === Diaspora Postinstallation ===
| |
| create the configuration files and make changes according to your system needs
| |
| $ cd /usr/share/webapps/diaspora
| |
| $ cp config/application.yml.example config/application.yml
| |
| $ cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
| |
| $ cp config/script_server_config.yml.example config/script_server_config.yml
| |
| | |
| Use Bundler to install Diaspora application
| |
| $ bundle install
| |
| | |
| === Create Database ===
| |
| Edit the Rakefile
| |
| $ cd /usr/share/webapps/diaspora
| |
| $ vi Rakefile
| |
| | |
| To fix the error "uninitialized constant Rake::DSL" add the line
| |
| require 'rake/dsl_definition'
| |
| right before
| |
| require 'rake'
| |
| | |
| create the database and it's content using
| |
| $ rake db:drop:all
| |
| $ rake db:create
| |
| $ rake db:migrate
| |
| | |
| === Run Diaspora ===
| |
| | |
| *To run Diaspora:
| |
| $ sudo /etc/rc.d/diaspora start
| |
| Then access http://localhost:3000/ to see the diaspora main page.
| |
| | |
| *To stop Diaspora:
| |
| $ sudo /etc/rc.d/diaspora stop
| |
| | |
| *(Optional) To start Diaspora automatically at boot, add the diaspora daemon in your /etc/rc.conf file:
| |
| DAEMONS=(... diaspora ...)
| |
| | |
| *(Optional) To populate the database with sample users:
| |
| $ cd /opt/diaspora
| |
| $ sudo -u diaspora GEM_HOME=/opt/diaspora-gems rake db:seed:dev
| |
| Then access http://localhost:3000/ and login with user 'tom' and password 'evankorth'.
| |
| | |
| ==Troubleshooting==
| |
| | |
| ===GDM login screen with diaspora===
| |
| GDM will insert the user diaspora in its login window because it currently considers the id range 500-1000 as normal users while Arch considers this range for system users as defined in /etc/login.defs. GDM does that probably to keep legacy normal users working.
| |
| To exclude this user from the login window, add this 'Exclude' line in your /etc/gdm/custom.conf file:
| |
| [greeter]
| |
| Exclude=diaspora
