What is diaspora-installer-mysql
diaspora-installer-mysql is:
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.
