13:03 <r4co0n> Hi. I am trying to update nodebb-sandstorm to the latest version of NodeBB - One big merge later I am trying to get the app to run via vagrant-spk dev.

13:06 <r4co0n> I keep just getting the spinning wheel, currently NodeBB seems unable to connect to the internet, I get: "10/12 12:50 [4] - info: [plugins/emoji-one] Initial startup detected. Downloading emojione assets... 10/12 12:50 [4] - error: Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND emojione.com emojione.com:80 at errnoException (dns.js:28:10) at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:76:26) Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND emojione.com emojione.com:80 at

13:06 <r4co0n> errnoException (dns.js:28:10) at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:76:26)"

13:08 <r4co0n> The vm has internet access. Do I need to configure network access for this app in sandstorm?

13:09 <r4co0n> I just found out about sandstorm this week, please bear with me..

15:04 <dwrensha> r4co0n: grains are sandboxed and don't get internet access by default

15:05 <dwrensha> is it possible to make the emoji downloading happen in the build step?

15:05 <dwrensha> that is, in build.sh ?

16:39 <r4co0n> dwrensha, I think I need to refactor this app if it is supposed to work with current sandstorm.

16:42 <r4co0n> dwrensha, There is a folder node_modules containing all modules used by the app. I think I need to drop this folder and pull app dependencies at build stage, this will probably also solve this problem

16:42 <r4co0n> Those dependencies are probably outdated and will produce problems anyways.

16:43 <r4co0n> I think what you have here is a really nice project and I look forward to see this evolving.

16:45 <r4co0n> How can I grant internet access to a grain? This should be setup somewhere below .sandstorm/ in my app directory? My google-foo seems to weak to find hints on how to do this, sorry.

16:46 <r4co0n> s/to\ weak/too\ weak/

16:47 <r4co0n> dwrensha, I think that the error messages would benefit from an explicit "Denied by Policy" statement.

16:56 <dwrensha> the "powerbox" is how you get a capability to make requests to the outside internet https://docs.sandstorm.io/en/latest/developing/powerbox/

16:56 <dwrensha> or HackSession https://github.com/sandstorm-io/sandstorm/blob/master/src/sandstorm/hack-session.capnp

16:57 <dwrensha> if these are files that just need to be downloaded once, it's going to be a lot easier to get the in the build step

17:43 <r4co0n> dwrensha, I don't know too much about it, but this seems to be some housekeeping script that gets in the way of how sandstorm is supposed to work. I will investigate further and try to invoke this download at build stage, will try to patch their update script if this fails.

17:43 <r4co0n> thank you, have to reboot my box, gonna disconnect, Bye!
