isd: yes, startup is what seems to be the problem. are there any applicable solutions?
<isd>
Honestly I don't know what the underlying issue is. I don't think it's the apps, since I've seen this with things I've written myself and that start basically instantly when I run them outside of sandstorm. I'm going to open a bug for this.
<crab>
so far, i'm using wekan, etherpad, rocket.chat, and radicale, though i've tried out a bunch of other apps too.
<crab>
radicale is the reason i installed sandstorm to begin with. but now that i have it running, it's kinda sad.
<isd>
Yeah, I wasn't too thrilled with radicale
<isd>
We could use a better calendar app
<isd>
Also, if anyone wants to do something super helpful: the latest version of rocket.chat doesn't build for sandstorm; fixing that would be awesome, esp. since it's introduced stuff like video chat (which iirc isn't in the version on the app market)
<isd>
I am not terribly well versed in the node.js/meteor world; I am probably not the right person to troubleshoot

I just installed sandstorm and ran into issues directly
<greenbigfrog>
ok. the issue is that it isn't run as root (I installed dev version), but shouldn't rather directly tell me that it should be run as root instead of
<crab>
some of the apps just don't work. draw.io never loads (always tells me to reload). laverna just spins forever.

Hmm. draw.io woked for me, except for the period of a few months where it didn't. :-)
<Lord>
do you have enough ram crab ?

i have 64GB on the server where it's running.
<crab>
and it's got an 8-core i7-6700 CPU that's mostly idle.
<Lord>
it's above "just enough"
<crab>
i should hope so :-)
<crab>
i managed to get the android rocket.chat app talking to my sandstorm-ed rocket.chat server. just paste in the webkey, that's all. neat.
<TimMc>
I'm running Sandstorm on a 10 year old HP laptop I found in the neighbor's trash mountain on move-out day. :-P
<crab>
now where am i going to get one of those? i don't think any of my neighbours even have computers. :-P

«But with grains, there is hope. Each grain’s storage can be encrypted transparently with a different key by Sandstorm. Since Sandstorm is in charge of access control, it can “wrap” the key for each user who is meant to have access. When a grain is granted permission to talk directly to some other grain, it can store a copy of the other grain’s key in its own storage, thus creating a key

derivation graph mirroring the access control graph. All of this can be completely transparent to the apps.»
<crab>
is this an existing feature?

<crab>
because if it's already that way, i love it.
<crab>
it's not only app startup that's slow for me. when i try to open an ipython^Wjupyter notebook, it takes ages.
<crab>
of course, it doesn't matter much because i can't install python modules so lots of things don't work.
<TimMc>
crab: I think that's just a planned feature.
<TimMc>
Last I checked, I was able to just view grain files on disk.
