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.

• PHP >= 5.3
• MySQL >= 5.0 or compatible database
• Web Server (Apache/Nginx)

1. Clone repo and transfer files to webserver. Webserver should serve files in public directory.
2. Create database and update settings in config.php to connect to the database.
3. Set site and domain name in config.php
4. Navigate to http://<DOMAIN-NAME>/install.php to create the database tables and the admin 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

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.

• 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.
