Minds is an open-source, encrypted and reward-based social networking platform. https://minds.com

Minds is split into multiple repositories:

• Engine - Backend code & APIs
• Front - Client side Angular2 web app
• Sockets - WebSocket server for real-time communication
• Mobile - React Native mobile apps

• 10GB RAM

• 100GB Disk space

• Docker Compose

1. Run sh init.sh in order to install the front and engine repositories
2. Run docker-compose up -d nginx
3. Run docker-compose up installer (one time only.. initial username: minds / password: Pa$$w0rd)
4. Run docker-compose up front-build
5. Navigate to http://localhost:8080

• Minds is already installed

  • Ensure engine/settings.php does not exist and re-run docker-compose up installer

• Cassandra will not boot

  • Ensure thrift is enabled
  • Cassandra requires at least 4GB of memory to operate. You can start Cassandra manually by running docker-compose up cassandra

At this time it is not advisable to run Minds in production, however it is possible so long as you are aware of the risks.

• 3 Cassandra Nodes (Min 30gb RAM, 1TB SSD, 8 CPU)
• 1 ElasticSearch Node (Min 16GB RAM, 250GB SSD, 8 CPU) #2 nodes are recommended for failover
• 1 Docker Machine (Min 60gb RAM, 50GB SSD, 32 CPU)
