i installed Sandstorm on my vps and then created a wordpress grain... how do i direct my .com domain to it?
<Aric>
is there a way to run WordPress Multi-site on Sandstorm?
<Aric>
I guess not needed if everything was a grain/instance... but i preferred it for a site with subdomains... also curious is WPML can work by doing languages as subdomains instead of subfolders (ie. en.mysite.com and fr.mysite.com)
<Aric>
ok got the host but not sure about the subdomains on my host going correctly to it?

theoretically if I am pointing *.site.com to the sandcats url for the site then it will handle subdomains like en.wpsite.com ya?

I don't see a way to use powerbox yet... there was an announcement 3 months ago or more about it.. is it still in dev?

When I try to upload a WP theme I get "No such grain for public ID: XXX [404]"
<Aric>
and if I go back to the theme upload page again it says the same

Aric: Hi!
<paulproteus>
I'm about to go to sleep, so I suggest emailing us at support@sandstorm.io.
<paulproteus>
Let me see if I can answer your questions briefly now, though.
<Aric>
Ok
<paulproteus>
re: subdomains on my hosting going correctly to it:
<paulproteus>
Did you see the part of the WordPress on Sandstorm configuration mentioning TXT records?
<paulproteus>
If so, then you're supposed to do it that way.
<paulproteus>
Any subdomains that need to map that WordPress grain need the same TXT record thing.
<Aric>
I saw the CNAME note in the WordPress dashboard
<paulproteus>
There's another thing beyond CNAME that you need to do, which hopefully is in the dashboard.
<Aric>
Okay... I'll play with that later
<paulproteus>
Great.
<Aric>
Not at home now but using my phone
<paulproteus>
re: WordPress multi-site: We shy away from multi-site and instead suggest people create separate WordPress grains.
<Aric>
I'm suspecting WP Multisite goes against the Sandstorm philosophy
<paulproteus>
Basically, Sandstorm is your multi-site.
<paulproteus>
Yeah, that's basically right.
<Aric>
Ya I figured thsy
<Aric>
That*
<paulproteus>
re: WP theme: That is a weird error, and it sounds like a bug in the WordPress package.
<paulproteus>
Can I get you to file a bug about it perhaps?
<Aric>
I wasn't sure if it was from uploading a large zip or not
<paulproteus>
A screenshot or a couple might go a long way to us figuring out what's going wrong.
<Aric>
But happened on self hosted (DigitalOcean) and Oasis demo
<paulproteus>
Well, at the very least, we should give you a better error message.
<Aric>
I'll send a bug from home :)
<paulproteus>
Great (-:
<Aric>
I can send the ID to support@?
<Aric>
I censored it above
<paulproteus>
Public IDs are safe to share, so that's fine.
<paulproteus>
And if you want to do a sharing link or something, it's safe to email that to support@ -- it goes to a few people who all work at Sandstorm, plus our email service providers (GMail + MailGun) who get it transiently in the case of MailGun or as part of us reading it in GMail.
<paulproteus>
I would suggest making a new grain you don't care about, fwiw, and sharing that, if possible.
<paulproteus>
Or downloading a backup of the grain before you share it with us.
<paulproteus>
I think that's all I can think of for now, but if you have more questions, or I neglected to answer some, don't hesitate to mention them in the email.
<Aric>
I'm just testing it for possible future deployments now so nothing sensitive at all on them
<paulproteus>
Cool.
<Aric>
If I can do everything needed (which seems to require Powerbox UI for a few) then we'll be going "all in" with Sandstorm for the hosting of apps for 3 companies that me and my team do tech for
<Aric>
It does offer a lot of goodies for admining sites and spinning up new ones we like
<Aric>
But have to test our use cases first

<paulproteus>
I hope Sandstorm ends up being super useful to you and that we can figure out how to bridge any remaining gaps.
<paulproteus>
Some of your use cases might require custom packages, and if so, then I can help with that too.
<paulproteus>
Going to bed now, but let's stay in touch -- best way to reach me personally is asheesh@sandstorm.io.
<Aric>
Well we were going to code in Meteor
<paulproteus>
That is perfect -- Meteor and Sandstorm go together nicely.
<Aric>
But we would have to package for Sandstorm then deploy on Sandstorm for those sites... Which adds steps
<Aric>
But they would be spks and not uploaded to the app store
<Aric>
I haven't made any apps yet
<Aric>
(For SS)
<Aric>
But we have WP and Gitlab to support + Meteor apps
<Aric>
So long as the first to work 100% (which after Powerbox looks like they will) then np
<paulproteus>
Email me and we'll make sure to figure it out. Going to sleep now -- hope you have a good night!
<Aric>
Good night
<Aric>
Thanks a lot
<paulproteus>
Thanks to you, too, for asking great questions.

curious.. does Sandstorm "hijack" the meteor-accounts then? I guess you'll have to code for that in mind
