Good idea! Please be sure to maintain this, maybe I could help get the word out… so long as development is kept active.
is it just enough os?
no gui , how to get to any directory ?
is there a default username and pw?
Been familiar with Diaspora since Kickstart.
Props on providing an easy avenue for test drives!
Agreed!
For me it also doesent boot! I now a better os: PeterOS!! I think it is the best
I used the testdrive. I cannot get it to boot up. >:(
ive been monitoring it in the past few days and it works for me. any chance you want to try again?
this is awesome! the easiest way to try diaspora!
There is a security issue with this appliance, because diaspora doesn’t have authentication support for mongodb yet. The appliance uses a mongodb which is accessible from the world – if you don’t start it with —bind_ip localhost the world can read the database. Use the package from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=mongodb&project=home%3Agladiac%3Aserver and disable —auth in /etc/sysconfig/mongodb.
Moreover, editing /etc/redis.conf and setting bind 127.0.0.1 would be good too :D

thanks for your concern but mongod is started with —bind_ip 127.0.0.1
for more info look into /home/tux/start_mongo.sh
