# Known restrictions

Walrus Sites can be used to deploy almost any form of traditional
static "Web 2" website build for modern browsers. There are, however,
a number of restrictions that a developer should keep in mind when
creating or porting a website to Walrus Sites.

# Publishing a Walrus Site

Now that everything is installed and configured, you should be able to start publishing
your first Walrus Site!

## Select the source material for the site

The `site-builder` works by uploading a directory of files produced by any web framework to Walrus,
and adding the relevant metadata to Sui. This directory should have a file called `index.html` in
its root, which will be the entry point to the Walrus Site.

For the rest of the tutorial, we will use as an example the simple site contained in
`./examples/snake`.

## Publish the site

Since we have placed the `walrus` binary and configuration in their default locations, publishing
the `./examples/snake` site is simple:

- Ensure that you are in the `site-builder` directory;
- Run the publishing command:

``` sh
./target/release/site-builder --config assets/builder-example.yaml publish ../examples/snake
```

The output should look like the following:

``` txt
Operations performed:

- created resource /file.png with blob ID R584P82qm4Dn8LoQMlzkGZS9IAkU0lNZTVlruOsUyOs

Browse the resulting site at: https://29gjzk8yjl1v7zm2etee1siyzaqfj9jaru5ufs6yyh1yqsgun2.walrus.site
```

This output tells you that, for each file in the folder, a new Walrus blob was created, and the
respective blob ID. Further it prints the object ID of the Walrus Site object on Sui (so you can
have a look in the explorer, and use it to set the SuiNS name), and, finally, the URL at which you
can browse the site.

Note here that we are passing the example config `assets/builder-example.yaml` as the config for the
site builder. The configuration file is necessary to ensure that the `site-builder` knows the
correct Sui package for the Walrus Sites logic.

More details on the configuration of the `site-builder` can be found under the [advanced
configuration](tutorial-config.md) section.

## Update the site

Let's say now you want to update the content of the site, for example by changing the title from
"eat all the blobs!" to "Glob all the Blobs!".
First, make this edit on in the `../examples/snake/index.html` file.
Then, you can update the existing site by running the `update` command, and providing the directory
where to find the updated files (still `../example/snake`), and the object ID of the existing site
(`0x5ac988...`):
``` sh
./target/release/site-builder --config assets/builder-example.yaml update ../examples/snake 0x5ac9888...
```
The output this time should be:

Compared to the `publish` action, we can see that now the only actions performed were to delete the
old `index.html`, and update it with the newer one.
Browsing to the provided URL should reflect the change. You've updated the site!

## Additional commands

The `site-builder` tool provides two additional utilities:

- the `convert` command, which converts an object ID in hex format to the equivalent Base36
format. This command is useful if you have the Sui object ID of a Walrus Site, and want to know
the subdomain where you can browse it.
- the `sitemap` command, which shows the resources that compose the Walrus Site at the given object
ID.

In general, the `--help` flag is your friend!

# Bonus: Set a SuiNS name

Browsing a URL like `https://29gjzk8yjl1v7zm2etee1siyzaqfj9jaru5ufs6yyh1yqsgun2.walrus.site` is not
particularly nice. Therefore, Walrus Sites allows to use SuiNS names (this is like DNS for Sui) to
give human-readable names to site. To do so, you simply have to get a SuiNS name you like, and point
it to the object ID of the Walrus Site (as provided by the `publish` or `update` commands).

Let's do this step by step.

## Get a SuiNS name

IMPORTANT: for this to work, the wallet with which you purchase the SuiNS name should be the same as
the wallet you use in the Sui CLI. Unfortunately the SuiNS interface on Testnet does not allow
setting the resolution through the UI.

- Navigate to [https://testnet.suins.io/](https://testnet.suins.io/), and buy a domain name with
your testnet wallet. For example, `walursgame` (NOTE: this is already taken, choose another you
like!). NOTE: At the moment, you can only select names that are composed of letters `a-z` and
numbers `0-9`, but no special characters (e.g., `-`).
- In the [page](https://testnet.suins.io/account/my-names) listing the domains you own, you should
see the newly-bought name.
- Click the three-dots menu on the top-right corner of the name you want to assign. Choose "View all
info", and copy the `ObjectID`. In our case, this is
`0x6412c4cfbe50e219c2d4d30108d7321d064e15bf64e752307100bff5eb91da38`.

## Map the SuiNS name to the Walrus Site

This step associates the name `walrusgame` to the object ID of our Walrus Site. There are possibly
many ways to achieve this, and as the SuiNS UI improves this could be done from the webapp as well.

Here, we issue an transaction using the Sui CLI that creates this mapping.

``` sh
sui client call \
--package 0x22fa05f21b1ad71442491220bb9338f7b7095fe35000ef88d5400d28523bdd93 \
--module controller \
--function set_target_address \
--gas-budget 500000000 \
--args 0x300369e8909b9a6464da265b9a5a9ab6fe2158a040e84e808628cde7a07ee5a3 \
--args 0x6412c4cfbe50e219c2d4d30108d7321d064e15bf64e752307100bff5eb91da38 \
--args "[0x5ac988828a0c9842d91e6d5bdd9552ec9fcdddf11c56bf82dff6d5566685a31e]" \
--args 0x6
```

If all succeeds, we can now browse [https://walrusgame.walrus.site](https://walrusgame.walrus.site)!
