Installation/OpenShift
Here is a quick guide to deploy Diaspora* on OpenShift, the cloud solution powered by RedHat
- Create an account on [OpenShift https://openshift.redhat.com/app/] (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 ssh-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
- Enter
$OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_HOST
in your shell to know the IP of the database, then edit the file with
nano database.yaml
And edit host with the IP found, put the username and the password saved on step 4. Change the socket to MySQL with the value below too. (host can work by letting localhost)
host: 127.5.154.129" #"localhost" port: 3306 username: "admin" password: "xxx" socket: ~/mysql-5.1/socket/mysql.sock
