# AnySpace
AnySpace is an Open Source Social Network platform similar to MySpace circa 2005-2007, designed with self-hosting in mind. A homage to the golden era of social networking, bringing back the simplicity and charm of early social media platforms with a focus on privacy, user experience, and community
Designed to be lightweight, user-friendly, and customizable, allowing users to express themselves just like in the old days but with the peace of mind that modern security practices bring.
- **Profiles:** Customizable user profiles with options for background images, music, and integrated layout support.
- **Blogging:** A blogging platform for users to share thoughts, stories, and updates.
- **Messaging:** Private and secure messaging between users.
- **Friends:** Connect with others, manage friendship requests, and explore user profiles.
- **Groups:** Create and join interest-based groups for discussions and events.
- **Customization:** Extensive customization options for user profiles and blogs.
## Prerequisites
- PHP >= 5.3
- MySQL >= 5.0 or compatible database
- Web Server (Apache/Nginx)
## Install
1. Clone repo and transfer files to webserver. Webserver should serve files in `public` directory. (Example Apache and Nginx configurations are provided in the repo)
2. Navigate to you webserver to create config.php and setup the database. The `core` directory will need to be writable by the webserver user.
`pfp` and `music` folders need r/w/x permissions for the webserver user.
It's recommended to set the following in your `php.ini`
```
file_uploads = On
upload_max_filesize = 10M
post_max_size = 15M
max_execution_time = 60
max_input_time = 120
memory_limit = 128M
```
### Admin Panel
The admin panel should not be made available to the public. The id of the admin user can be set in `config.php`, by
default it is set to user with id 1. Future plans include multi-user access to the admin panel using a permissions
system.

## Quirks
- Developed with PHP 5.3 compatibility in mind due to limitations of developer hardware
- Database schema will change frequently at this stage of development. If you receive a "PDO exception" you most likely need to create the appropriate table or column.
