Bitnami Diaspora Stack is a free and multiplatform software project, an all-in-one, one-click install solution that includes ready-to-run versions of the Diaspora application, Apache web server, MySQL database server and PHP server-side scripting language. It is the perfect product for those who want to deploy Diaspora on personal computer and know nothing about how to install a database or web server.
What it Diaspora?
Diaspora is a free and open source personal Web server engineered to implement a distributed social networking service, which is comprised of nodes, called "pods." The BitNami Diaspora Stack product can be deployed as native installers, as a virtual appliance or on your own server, in the cloud. It supports both Linux and Mac OS X operating systems.
Installing Bitnami Diaspora Stack
To install the Diaspora application and its server-related requirements, you will have to download the package that corresponds to your computer’s hardware architecture (32-bit and 64-bit), run it and follow the on-screen instructions.
Run Diaspora in the cloud
Thanks to Bitnami, users will be able to run their own Diaspora stack server in the cloud using one of the pre-built cloud images for the Windows Azure and Amazon EC2 cloud hosting providers or with their own hosting platform.
Virtualize Diaspora or use the Docker container
Besides installing Diaspora on your personal computer or deploy it in the cloud, it is possible to virtualize it on the VMware ESX, ESXi and Oracle VirtualBox virtualization software, thanks to Bitnami’s virtual appliance based on the latest stable version of the Ubuntu Linux distribution.
The Bitnami Diaspora Module
Unfortunately, Bitnami does not provide users with modules for its LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) or MAMP (Mac, Apache, MySQL and PHP) stacks, which could have helped them to deploy the Diaspora application on desktop computers or laptops without having to install its runtime dependencies.
