Versions of this guide

Warning:

In Production mode, your pod is configured to deal with high load for everyday usage. This is recommended for a pod you want to actually use.

In Development mode, your pod is configured for development. This is recommended ony for development contributors of diaspora* which use the pod only locally for testing purposes.

The Database you choose is up to you. In our experience PostgreSQL achieves a better performance but needs more resources.

The current guide is for a production setup with PostgreSQL as database.

You can change them below:

Running mode: Production | Development
Database: MySQL | PostgreSQL | MariaDB

-You need to choose if you want a production setup or development setup. Diaspora has three development trees: master, stable and develop. The master tree always contains the current release. The stable tree is where new features and bug fixes are added before a new minor version is released. The develop tree is where new features and bug fixes are added before a new major version is released. Therefore if you want a development setup you should run from develop. But it isn't guaranteed to be in a good state, so it's not recommended to run a production setup from it.

-Diaspora is written in Ruby on Rails and therefore knows different running modes. These have nothing to do with running from the master or the develop tree. Nonetheless we recommend the development mode for development setups and production mode for production setups. The difference is, apart from a slightly different default configuration, speed. The development mode reloads the code on each request, so it speeds up your development. The production mode doesn't do that, so pages load significantly faster. That's the only major difference you need to care about. To emphasize it one more time: Running a production setup in development mode gains you nothing.

-Lastly you can choose between running on MySQL/MariaDB or PostgreSQL, in our experience PostgreSQL achieves a better performance.
