## Package-oriented install for ubuntu.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This does not work ATM, see http://bugs.joindiaspora.com/issues/372
|
|
|
|
Here are somediaspora-installdiaspora-install scripts to install diaspora on Ubuntu. They are designed to
|
|
work as a first step towards packaging, but should be usable as is.
|
|
|
|
### Synopsis
|
|
|
|
Bootstrap the distribution from git:
|
|
sudo apt-get install git-core
|
|
git clone git://github.com/diaspora/diaspora.git
|
|
cd diaspora/pkg/ubuntu
|
|
|
|
Install the dependencies (a good time for a coffe break)
|
|
sudo ./diaspora-install-deps
|
|
|
|
Create and install the diaspora bundle and application:
|
|
./make-dist.sh bundle
|
|
sudo ./diaspora-bundle-install dist/diaspora-bundle-*.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
./make-dist.sh source
|
|
sudo ./diaspora-install dist/diaspora-0.0*.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Initiate and start the server;
|
|
sudo ./diaspora-setup
|
|
sudo su - diaspora
|
|
cd /usr/share/diaspora/master
|
|
./script/server
|
|
|
|
### Upgrading
|
|
|
|
The normal procedure to update is to just
|
|
$ sudo su - diaspora
|
|
$ cd /usr/share/diaspora/master/pkg/ubuntu
|
|
$ ./make-dist.sh bundle
|
|
$ ./make-dist.sh source
|
|
|
|
And then use diaspore-install and diaspora-install-bundle as above.
|
|
|
|
It's necessary to always have the correct bundle. The easy way is to just
|
|
$ ./make-dist.sh bundle
|
|
|
|
Repo: http://github.com/diaspora/diaspora.git
|
|
Bundle: dist/diaspora-bundle-0.0-1010111342_afad554.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
The command will return the last built bundle (which is cached) if it's
|
|
OK to use. If it's not, it will build a new.
|
|
|
|
### Notes
|
|
|
|
./make-dist.sh bundle|source occasionally fails on bad Gemfile.lock. The
|
|
root cause is a bad Gemfile.lock in the git repo. Possible fixes includes
|
|
using a older version known to work:
|
|
% ./make-dist.sh -c c818885b6 bundle
|
|
% ./make-dist.sh -c c818885b6 source
|
|
|
|
or forcing a complete update of Gemfile.lock using 'bundle update' (a
|
|
potential problematic operation):
|
|
% ./make-dist.sh -f bundle
|
|
|
|
The application lives in /usr/share/diaspora/master. All writable areas
|
|
(log, uploads, tmp) are links to /var/lib/diaspora. The config file lives
|
|
in /etc/diaspora. All files in /usr/share are read-only, owned by root.
|
|
|
|
The bundle lives in /usr/lib/diaspora-bundle, readonly, owned by root.
|
|
Application finds it through the patched .bundle/config in root dir.
|
|
|
|
Once diaspora is installed, makedist.sh et. al. are available in
|
|
/usr/share/diaspora/master/pkg/ubuntu, so there's no need to checkout
|
|
the stuff using git in this case.
|
|
|
|
The user diaspora is added during install.
|
|
|
|
Tools used for building package are installed globally. All of diasporas
|
|
dependencies lives in the nothing is insalled by user or on system level.
|
|
|
|
make-dist.sh accepts arguments to get a specified commit and/or use another
|
|
repo.
|
|
|
|
This has been tested on a Ubuntu 32-bit 10.10 , clean server and on 10.04
|
|
Lucid desktop, also clean installation.
|
|
|
|
mongodb is having problems occasionally. Sometimes the dependencies are not
|
|
installed, and mongod refuses to start. invoke /usr/bin/mongod -f /etc/mongodb.conf
|
|
fo test. The lockfile /var/lib/mongodb/mongod.conf is also a potential
|
|
problem. Remove to make it start again.
|
|
|
|
The diaspora-wsd is just placeholder FTM, it does **not** work.
|
|
|
|
Please, report any problems!
