### Private
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A GNU social node can be configured as "private", which means it will not
|
||
|
|
federate with other nodes in the network. It is not a recommended method
|
||
|
|
of using GNU social and we cannot at the current state of development
|
||
|
|
guarantee that there are no leaks (what a public network sees as features,
|
||
|
|
private sites will likely see as bugs).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Private nodes are however an easy way to easily setup collaboration and
|
||
|
|
image sharing within a workgroup or a smaller community where federation
|
||
|
|
is not a desired feature. Also, it is possible to change this setting and
|
||
|
|
instantly gain full federation features.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Access to file attachments can also be restricted to logged-in users only:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Add a directory outside the web root where your file uploads will be
|
||
|
|
stored. Use this command as an initial guideline to create it:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mkdir /var/www/gnusocial-files
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Make the file uploads directory writeable by the web server. An
|
||
|
|
insecure way to do this is (to do it properly, read up on UNIX file
|
||
|
|
permissions and configure your webserver accordingly):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
chmod a+x /var/www/gnusocial-files
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Tell GNU social to use this directory for file uploads. Add a line
|
||
|
|
like this to your config.php:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$config['attachments']['dir'] = '/var/www/gnusocial-files';
