Closes: #12954 Changes: - Added an admin page that displays a table containing all of the users that are currently on the Fleet Sandbox waitlist where admins can approve waitlisted users. - Added a new email template that tells users that their Fleet Sandbox instance is ready. - Added a new action: `admin/provision-sandbox-instance-and-deliver-email.js`, an action that provisions a Fleet sandbox instance for a single user and sends them an email telling them that their Fleet Sandbox Instance is ready. - Added a script that provisions a Fleet Sandbox instance for the user who has been on the waitlist the longest and sends them an email telling them that their Sandbox instance is ready.

Testing locally
Run the following commands to test the site locally:
npm install -g sails
cd website/
npm install
sails run scripts/build-static-content.js
sails lift
Your local copy of the website is now running at http://localhost:2024!
Deploying the website
To deploy changes to the website to production, merge changes to the main branch. If the changes affect the website's code, or touch any files that the website relies on to build content, such as the query library, osquery schema, docs, handbook, articles, etc., then the website will be redeployed.
Wondering how this works? This is implemented in a GitHub action in this repo. Check out the code there to see how it works! For help understanding what
sails runandnpm runcommands in there do, check the scripts inwebsite/package.jsonand inwebsite/scripts/.
Changing the database schema
To deploy new code to production that relies on changes to the database schema or other external systems (e.g. Stripe), first put the website in "maintenance mode" in Heroku. Then, make your changes in the database schema. Next, if you have a script to fix/migrate existing data, go ahead and run it now. (e.g. sails run fix-or-migrate-existing-data). Then, merge your changes and wait for the deploy to finish. Finally, switch off "maintenance mode" in Heroku.
Note that entering maintenance mode prevents visitors from using the website, so it should be used sparingly, and ideally at low-traffic times of day.
Warning: Doing an especially sensitive schema migration? There is a potential timing issue to consider, thanks to an infrastructure change that eliminated downtime during deploys by using Heroku's built-in support for hot-swapping.

Wiping the production database
I hope you know what you're doing. The "easiest" kind of database schema migration:
sails_datastores__default__url='REAL_DB_URI_HERE' sails run wipe
Then when you see the sailboat, hit CTRL+C to exit. All done!
