Hi Folks,
I'm a huge fan of LimeSurvey. I have been working in CXM the last years and LimeSurvey is an awesome tool, even commercial competition cannot provide the features you guys deliver. And here Iâm not yet talking about the freedom, independence and the certainty that my data is my data - this is also very important to me and makes LimeSurvey a awesome project for me.
I recently joined the community of Sandstorm (https://sandstorm.io/) and started playing around with different applications and also LimeSurvey. My first version was more or less a test if I'm able to contribute to both projects. Thats why I made no big deal out of it. You can check out the current status here: https://github.com/JamborJan/LimeSurvey
Basically the initial work is pretty easy and itâs not a big deal to align most of the things to run LimeSurvey in a Sandstorm container. The only thing Iâm currently not getting to work is moving and symlinking the application/config folder. As soon as I do this the application breaks. It seems that the base path is breaking. In the Sandstorm container the apps base path is /opt/app. The only path where the app can write is /var. Thats why I move all folders which need write access there (see for example: https://github.com/JamborJan/LimeSurvey/blob/master/.sandstorm/launcher.sh#L10-L16) This works pretty well for tmp and uploads but not for application/config.
Maybe someone can help me with that?
My goal is to first of all contribute to the LimeSurvey community and second to make LimeSurvey available to more users through the Sandstorm platform.
I will continue to work on both projects and your thoughts, comments and critics are welcome.
JJ
