Demo mode

Demo mode

This page documents some features of the Sandstorm demo mode, whose code exists in the main Sandstorm repository.

Purpose of demo mode

The main purpose of the demo mode is to let people learn more about the Sandstorm platform by using a Sandstorm instance without having to think about registering for an account.

A secondary purpose, the code for which is not yet fully implemented, is to enable people to try out Sandstorm apps without having to think about registering for an account or "installing" the app.

Data deletion

Data is in fact deleted periodically. To learn about how, read the code implementing the demo.

At the time of writing, the period of data deletion is not configurable.

Enabling demo mode

To enable demo mode, add the following line to sandstorm.conf:

ALLOW_DEMO_ACCOUNTS=true
