Description: distributed social networking service - installer
Diaspora (currently styled diaspora* and formerly styled DIASPORA*) is a free
personal web server that implements a distributed social networking service.
Installations of the software form nodes (termed "pods") which make up the
distributed Diaspora social network.
.
Diaspora is intended to address privacy concerns related to centralized
social networks by allowing users to set up their own server (or "pod") to
host content; pods can then interact to share status updates, photographs,
and other social data. It allows its users to host their data with a
traditional web host, a cloud-based host, an ISP, or a friend. The framework,
which is being built on Ruby on Rails, is free software and can be
experimented with by external developers.
.

This package configures PostgreSQL as the database and Nginx as the web server.
It downloads diaspora and install dependencies using rubygems packaging system.

This package configures PostgreSQL as the database and Nginx as the web server.
It provides files common for the diaspora and diaspora-installer packages.
Template: diaspora-common/intro Type: note _Description: Notes You can leave the PostgreSQL application password blank, as the "ident" authentication method is used, allowing the diaspora user on the system to connect to the Diaspora database without a password. . Running Diaspora requires at least a self-signed SSL certificate, which can be generated using (for instance) the package easy-rsa. Template: diaspora-common/url Type: string Default: localhost _Description: Host name for this instance of Diaspora: Please choose the host name which should be used to access this instance of Diaspora. . This should be the fully qualified name as seen from the Internet, with the domain name that will be used to access the pod. . If a reverse proxy is used, give the hostname that the proxy server responds to. . This host name should not be modified after the initial setup because it is hard-coded in the database.
