sajjadhaiderrr / social-network Goto Github PK

This is an implementation of a distributed social network based on Django. This project has a concrete implementation of a RESTful API, all of the accomplished API can be found here. By being a RESTful API, we can connect with other servers, whom are following the same API protocol as we are. Therefore, we can browse posts made not only by authors on our server, but also authors on other servers that are connecting with us. Servers who are connected with us are determined by the web admin. An authentication credential will be issued if the web admin accepts an incomming connection with the other server.

For remote funcionalities, we will not store any information of posts hosted on other servers. We do temperarily store authors' information for our friendship and commentting functionalities (as the foreign key constraint will be violated if not stored). All remote authors' information will be updated if corresponding author interacts with our server.

Deleting Node objects would cause forever-pending issue. To correctly remove Node object, you will also need to remove remote Author objects for corresponding host.

  • This is a duplicate deployment of our project. Technically, we can treat it as a remote host, since every communication are through RESTful API.
