Discovered limitations

Sitemaps don't seem to work

• sitemap plugins don't work with playground WordPress/wordpress-playground#1186

Custom domains

This is not working, figure out why and provide workaround

• wp-now: Error starting: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND new-playground1.wpnow #32

Working with media

Some media operations will not work

• What works, what doesn't?
• Image editor not working WordPress/wordpress-playground#1190
  • Relevant note from @adamziel
  • With kitchen-sink packages enabled (IE: gd image library) - this works as expected
