Alternative startup methods: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:59, 16 December 2015

This page is for listing alternative methods for starting up the Diaspora service automatical or in some manner other than calling the ./script/start

Init Scripts & Upstart

Init script of debian-installer package

Sample /etc/diaspora.conf required by the init script is given below

export SERVERNAME=localhost
export ENVIRONMENT_URL=https://localhost
export RAILS_ENV=production
export DB=postgres

~~diaspora-init on Github by netom~~ fork of dead repo
Init Script on OLD github page for diaspora
Stack Overflow Ubuntu init script
Init script that works as of Diaspora 0.5 (also requires a script in /home/diaspora/diaspora/diaspora-init)

systemd

Old systemd unit starting script/server
modular systemd units (running puma instead of unicorn and chruby instead of RVM)

daemontools

Unmaintained scripts to start foreman directly

god

Passenger

All you need is the following snippet of Apache configuration in e.g. a <VirtualHost> block:

DocumentRoot $diasporapath/public
PassengerAppRoot $diasporapath
PassengerAppEnv production
PassengerRuby $rubypath

Replace $diasporapath with the path where you installed diaspora*, and replace $rubypath 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.
