 1. Enable `contrib` section in `/etc/apt/sources.list`. `apt update && apt install diaspora-installer`. For buster, use https://people.debian.org/~praveen/diaspora-buster/ till the bug fixes are available from official archives.  1. Enable `contrib` section in `/etc/apt/sources.list`. `apt update && apt install diaspora-installer`. For buster, use https://people.debian.org/~praveen/diaspora-buster/ (suite: buster) till the bug fixes are available from official archives.

We can test diaspora installation using an lxc container. Use unstable for testing latest versions.

# lxc-create -n diaspora -t debian -- -r unstable

If you want to test on buster use,

# lxc-create -n diaspora -t debian -- -r buster

Now start and attach to the container,

# lxc-start -n diaspora
# lxc-attach -n diaspora

See LXC for more details on managing a container.

Inside the container

You will need a utf-8 locale to install postgresql. Run dpkg-reconfigure locales and choose a locale with utf-8 support (for example en_IN.UTF-8). Reboot the container (reboot command) and run lxc-attach again.

  1. Enable contrib section in /etc/apt/sources.list. apt update && apt install diaspora-installer. For buster, use https://people.debian.org/~praveen/diaspora-buster/ (suite: buster) till the bug fixes are available from official archives.

  2. During installation, choose diaspora.lxc as the hostname

  3. Disable https in debconf wizard
  4. Verify the diaspora service is running /etc/init.d/diaspora status and start if not running /etc/init.d/diaspora start

  5. Run the following command to verify the diaspora service is running curl -v --unix-socket /run/diaspora/diaspora.sock http://diaspora.lxc/

If diaspora is running, /etc/init.d/diaspora status output will be similar to

Troubleshooting

Logs are found in /var/log/diaspora. Check startscript.log and eye_processes_stderr.log if diaspora service is not running or curl cannot access the service for any errors.

Manually starting unicorn

root@diaspora-buster:~# cd /usr/share/diaspora
root@diaspora-buster:/usr/share/diaspora# . /etc/diaspora.conf 
root@diaspora-buster:/usr/share/diaspora# sudo -u diaspora -E -H  bin/bundle exec unicorn -c config/unicorn.rb

On your host machine

  1. Add ip address of container (ip a will list the ip address) in host machine's /etc/hosts to resolve diaspora.lxc. 192.168.122.104 diaspora.lxc # Change ip address

  2. Visit http://diaspora.lxc on host browser
