Stackato Sandbox is a hosted trial environment. To obtain access, set up a Sandbox account. No server configuration is required.
Once your account has been created, you can target the Sandbox with the stackato client and login with the credentials shown on your ActiveState Account page under Stackato Sandbox Access. You can also access the Sandbox with a web browser using the Management Console at:
You can push your own apps or one of the example applications to the Sandbox using the client, or deploy applications directly from the App Store.
The client must be set to target the Sandbox URL. This tells the Stackato client where it will be pushing applications:
$ stackato target api.stacka.to
Successfully targeted to [http://api.stacka.to]
To log in, use the login command and enter your email address and password when prompted:
$ stackato login
Applications are deployed to the Sandbox in the same way they would be deployed to a local setup. Please read the Deployment section for instructions, sample applications, and specific details on deploying various types of projects.
Keep in mind that application names are unique across the sandbox. Choose names that are specific, or add a unique name in front of them (Example: Use "jsmith-helloworld" instead of "helloworld"). The Stackato Client will prompt you should there be a conflict, but this will help prevent it beforehand.
The objective of the Stackato Sandbox Service is to give Stackato users an easy way to test drive Stackato deployment of applications in a privately hosted environment on EC2.
The 45-day access period begins as soon as the automated notification email is sent. Users will receive notice when their trial ends via email as well.
The following limits are per-user:
The Sandbox includes the full range of our supported languages subject to change without notice:
From time to time, the Sandbox may need to be restarted. In such cases, any local files, file-based databases, etc, created by the application will be lost when the app is reloaded. Data services and persistent file system services are provided in order to maintain an application's information and should be used for any data storage needs on the Sandbox.
