LAZ - Open Source Social Network Made Simple.
LAZ is a open source social network that uses the expressive and easy to use Laravel Framework to easily build "social network like" features such as:
- Favoriting Users
- Messaging Users
- Posting on Users Profiles
- Notifying Users on key events
- Showing Online Users
It is ready for initial production use but was made in mind to be flexible for developers and web masters to a add features specific to their target audience.
We recommend using Corebox which was used in the development and QA stages of this application. If you choose to use another Virtual Machine check for the following:
Prerequisites | Command To check |
---|---|
Apache or Nginx | apache2 -v nginx -v |
PHP 5.5.9 or 7.0 | php -v |
MySQL 5.6 | mysql -u root -p |
Redis Server | redis-server |
Node.js | npm -v |
