Problem/Motivation

It would be great to have a demo version that people could spin up without having to install anything on their local machine.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

I've discussed this with the Tugboat and Drupal Forge people and the Drupal Forge team may be able to put something together.

Remaining tasks

TBD

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

Unfortunately installing SDDS isn't working with the latest XB so I'm debugging.

Note that SDDS may end up in xb-demo which means we wouldn't need two demos, just the Drupal CMS one.

Bumping priority as this would be great to have before Atlanta. Darren has already been working on it.

Although this is working, the hosting cost aspect hasn't been sorted so unfortunately this won't be ready for next week

This is available now at https://www.drupalforge.org/template/drupal-cms-xb

A note about costs: We use Digital Ocean to host demos. Due to the resources required for acceptable performance, we can only run three XB demos on a single Digital Ocean droplet. Each droplet costs $96 per month. We have reduced our standard demo time from six hours to one hour to control costs. Once a Digital Ocean droplet fills up with running demos, new demos take extra long to spin up because a new droplet has to be provisioned. We are working on ways to optimize the process without adding too much to costs.

You can help cover the cost of running the demos by donating at https://opencollective.com/drupalforge.
