GNU Social app with Qvitter for Yunohost

gnusocial_ynh

This app brings GNU social with Qvitter plugin.

Before install this app you must have:

• A subdomain as social.example.com or gs.example.com. Qvitter plugin won't work with paths such as example.com/gs
• Created certificates from Let's encrypt or any non self-signed certificates

There are several profiles for a GNU Social node:

• Public: Registration for everybody is enabled.
• Community: Ideal for a smalls groups. No open registration available.
• Private: Nobody outside could see the node.

Be patient. So far this installation doesn't do the following:

• Single Sign On

gnusocial_ynh's Issues

Log in admin GUI

gnusocial can log as syslog or as file.

With a file : can create a var/log/gnusocial (and a logrotate), but maybe syslog is better.

The question is how to add a log in admin GUI ?

Create a service for daemon

Currently daemon is started after install, but there are no services. It's not important because : no valid daemon is really started.

Without daemon enabled all mainteance task is done when loading HTML, with daemon : maintenance is done by daemon (sending old status to whle fediverse for example). Then activate the daemon is great.

To activate the daemon

$config['queue']['enabled'] = true;
$config['queue']['daemon'] = true;
$config['daemon']['piddir'] = '/a pid dir/';
$config['daemon']['user'] = 'user';
$config['daemon']['group'] = 'user';

Then need an accessible pid dir :). And a user.

Then i work on this solution

• Create a gnusocial user
• Create a directory for pid ( /var/run/gnusocial/)
• Create a service : systemd or init.d : better systemd currently ?
• Activate the service at end

Did you see another things ? Some advice ?

LDAP integration

This LDAP configuration isn't at config.php beacuse it doesn't work yet, however is the best LDAP configuration that I tried so far:

 addPlugin('ldapAuthentication', array(
        'provider_name'=>'localhost',
        'authoritative'=>true,
        'autoregistration'=>true,
        'email_changeable'=>false,
        'password_changeable'=>false,
        'password_encoding'=>'ssha',
        'host'=>array( 'localhost' ),
        'binddn'=>'cn=admin,dc=yunohost,dc=org',
        'bindpw'=>'supersecret',
        'basedn'=>'dc=yunohost,dc=org',
        'attributes'=>array(
                'username'=>'uid',
                'nickname'=>'uid',
                'email'=>'mail',
                'fullname'=>'displayName',
                'password'=>'unicodePwd'
                )
));

addPlugin('ldapAuthorization', array(
        'provider_name'=>'localhost',
        'authoritative'=>true,
        'login_group'=>'ou=users,dc=yunohost,dc=org',
        'roles_to_groups'=>array(
                'moderator'=>'cn=admin,dc=yunohost,dc=org'
                'administrator'=>'cn=admin,dc=yunohost,dc=org'
        ),
        'basedn'=>'dc=yunohost,dc=org',
        'host'=>array( 'localhost' ),
        'binddn'=>'cn=admin,dc=yunohost,dc=org',
        'bindpw'=>'supersecret',
        'attributes'=>array(
                'username'=>'uid'
                )
));

Since uniqueMember attribute is not set at Yunohost's LDAP but GNU Social tries to get it, I skip that check doing the following dirty hack:

• Function is_dn_member_of_group at plugins/LdapCommon/LdapCommon.php always return true
• Line throw new Exception(_m('uniqueMember_attribute must be set.')); at plugins/LdapAuthorization/LdapAuthorization.php becomes a commented line

However, GNU social cannot validate users' credentials anyway.

$ cat /var/log/syslog

yunohost statusnet: [gs.example.com:7111.339ef2c2 POST /api/qvitter/checklogin.json] action.php - User error '401' on 'apiqvitterchecklogin': Incorrect credentials.

Any help or comments will be appreciated.
