Is there any way to convert an existing “sandbox” dotcloud deployment to a “live” flavor?
Or do I have to destroy and recreate it?
There are two reasons I want to do this:
1) preserve the old name of my app … i.e. the subdomain on dotcloud.com
2) avoid minor hassle of moving my database data
You yourself can’t change it yet, but if you head over to our support page and file a ticket, we’d be happy to upgrade your application flavor.
Update: I’m told we only offer the conversion for Legacy apps so if you’re a sandbox user then you’ll have to push a new app or destroy the sandbox app before re-pushing it as Live. Please see http://docs.dotcloud.com/0.4/guides/flavors/ for more details on how flavors work.
