Installation/OpenShift
Here is a quick guide to deploy Diaspora* on OpenShift, the cloud solution powered by RedHat
- Create an account (it's free !)
- Choose Ruby on Rails application
- Choose a public URL and change "Source Code" to git://github.com/diaspora/diaspora.git
- Keep a copy of your MySQL settings, you will need it ;)
- Connect to your cloud with ssh : You have a example with git :
git clone ssh://a-lot-of-number-and-letters@yourappli-yournamspace.rhcloud.com/~/git/timmy.git/
Connect by transform this command to
ssh a-lot-of-number-and-letters@yourappli-yournamspace.rhcloud.com
You probably need to set a public key in your account setting first. If you don't have one, generate one with sh-keygen and put it in .ssh in your home
In your cloud, go to the app folder :
cd app-root/repo/ run bundle install : bundle install
Edit your diaspora.yaml and database.yaml file :
cd config mv diaspora.yaml.example diaspora.yaml mv database.yaml.example database.yaml nano diaspora.yaml
edit the url and remove the # in front of
certificate_authorities: '/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt'
and
port: 3000
nano database.yaml
