coffeebird[m]: Technically, the app store itself is not on Sandstorm, but the app index (which provides the app store all of the apps) is. It technically runs on Alpha, not Oasis.

on first install, should i be able to access the admin page via ip while I wait for DNS records to update?
<willer>
because right now i can't

willer: If you use something.sandcats.io domain, you need to wait for DNS to update, I think
<willer>
xet7: i use my own domain
<xet7>
willer: What webserver you have in front of Sandstorm? Nginx?
<xet7>
If you proxy to sandstorm, you should be able to configure nginx website with ip address
<xet7>
for example setting it with "listen 80 default_server" or something like that
<benharri>
willer: depends which ip sandstorm is listening on
<willer>
i just curl the script and go with pretty much defaults
<willer>
add my domain
<willer>
now the dns records seem to have been updated as ping goes to my server ip but no admin panel
<willer>
new token too
<benharri>
i think the default port is 6081 or 6080. try changing the default port to 80, or install nginx
<willer>
"(remote):0: failed: remote exception: remote exception: Error: Host "sandstorm-www.www.domain.org" must have exactly one TXT record."
<willer>
ok what did i mess up
<benharri>
looks like your DNS has duplicated TXT records. check your domain settings
<benharri>
what that means is that you can't have more than one TXT records on the same name

Hi! I was curious to know if anyone is aware of social media applications in the process of being packaged for sandstorm.io that I could contribute to.
<lamplamplamp>
I'm mostly thinking of Facebook substitutes.
<ocdtr_web>
xet7: Monica isn't really a Facebook alternative.
<xet7>
Is there such thing?
<xet7>
open source
<ocdtr_web>
Monica's kinda like a contact database, but geared for personal contacts rather than professional ones.
<ocdtr_web>
Well, Mastodon or Diaspora or the like, but it's very hard to do federated networks on Sandstorm right now.
<ocdtr_web>
Like, it depends what one's looking for, finding something that would be like a Facebook-ish experience solely within the Sandstorm grain might not be that hard, but if you wanted it to interact with the greater community, it'd be very hard.
<CcxWrk>
Facebookish experience is also something that sounds awful to inflict on someone. :P
<CcxWrk>
lamplamplamp: Secushare might be more up your alley.
<ocdtr_web>
lol CcxWrk, that is fair.

benharri: so i can only have an A record pointing to the server ip and nothing else? i had a CNAME wildcard entry there as well..
<benharri>
i'm thinking that you have another error. check /opt/sandstorm/var/ for the logs.
<benharri>
willer: you need the hostname to point to the server, as well as a wildcard record pointing to the same server
<benharri>
for example, mine is sandstorm.example.com and *.sandstorm.example.com

benharri: there's just an error about spameri not being installed
<benharri>
did you get any installation errors? what distro are you on?
<willer>
benharri: no installatin errors. ubuntu 16.04
<benharri>
willer: that's what i'm running too. strange
<willer>
benharri: i'll do this from scratch tomorrow. shame i'll need to spin up a new server with a new ip and wait for DNS to update
<benharri>
willer: you shouldn't need to spin up a new server
<benharri>
do `sudo sandstorm uninstall`, `sudo rm -rf /opt/sandstorm`, and then just re-install
<willer>
ok
<benharri>
as long as there isn't anything in /opt/sandstorm that you need
<willer>
yeah
<willer>
ok. "URL users will enter in browser" - does this mean admins of sandstorm or users of sandstorm services? because here I just input my domain without a port number
<benharri>
depends how you reverse proxy
<benharri>
i entered the base url without a port
<benharri>
and then reverse proxied with nginx from 80 and 443 to 6080
<benharri>
admins would access from inside sandstorm. it's the same baseurl
afuentes has joined #sandstorm
<willer>
i don't get why the generated token url doesn't contain port 6080
<benharri>
it will contain whatever you set as the base port
<benharri>
another option is to just change the listen_port to 80 in /opt/sandstorm/sandstorm.conf
<willer>
i have to add it manually. now i got a different page served: "Sandstorm static publishing needs further configuration (or wrong URL)"
<benharri>
until you set up the reverse proxy
<benharri>
there's documentation on setting up the reverse proxy
<willer>
ok i'll read up on it tomorrow. making progress although somewhat confused still. thanks for your help benharri
<benharri>
np, let me know if you can't figure it out
<benharri>
i still haven't gotten my letsencrypt wildcard cert set up yet either, so i need to figure that out too
<willer>
yeah it's on my to-do list as well

willer, it sounds like your BASE_URL is missing the port number
