00:04 <GetMeCoffee> Hello! I'm interested in using Sandstorm for a project, but I can't quite figure out if the login scheme will work for us. Is it possible to log in to Sandstorm (Oasis) using a username/password, or does it always require the email authentication? I reviewed the docs, but didn't see a clear answer

00:06 <GetMeCoffee> Also, for the life of me I can't see where to sign up and pay (e.g. for the "Basic" plan). The link just takes me back to my demo acocunt...

01:13 <TimMc> GetMeCoffee: Nope, no username and password, unless you set up your own and integrate with an LDAP server.

01:14 <TimMc> I believe the reasons for this have to do with wanting grains and capabilities to be portable, and username/password isn't portable.

01:15 <TimMc> The billing plan is in https://oasis.sandstorm.io/account -- it could definitely stand to be easier to find out how to pay. :-)

01:28 <GetMeCoffee> @TimMc - Thank you. I got the plan set up :-) I probably would have found it eventually, but I was trying to get it done fast with a colleague on the phone. It's those times when some hand-holding is needed!

01:28 <TimMc> ++

01:29 <GetMeCoffee> I think the login arrangement will work. We can't get email at this project site and copy/paste is blocked, so we just have to hand copy the reg link.

01:34 <TimMc> yikes

01:43 <sonata> Are there any hosting providers other than Oasis?

01:44 <simpson> Not yet, I think.

01:45 <TimMc> sonata: That spare computer gathering dust in the attic!

01:53 <sonata> hee

01:54 <TimMc> I run mine on a laptop a neighbor threw out on moving day.

01:56 <sonata> ...I'll look into that.

01:59 <simpson> If it weren't such a likely cost center, I'd be tempted to enter the market. But I don't think I can offer better price/service than Oasis.

01:59 <TimMc> I have some Ansible scripts in a public repo if you use that sort of thing: https://github.com/timmc/commapps/tree/master/ansible/roles/sandstorm
