Any instructions on how to run the front locally?

What happened?

How can I set the kyoo backend address?
It keeps trying to access "localhost:3000" (the frontend server istelf)

[felipemarinho97]

After 4 long hours trying I cannot even make the frontend connect with the backend.

1. The url is not easily configurable. I had to find on the code where to change it, (accounts.tsx, line 61)
2. After configuring the backend address, login request fails because the backend is responding 405 Method Not Allowed for pre-flight requests on the browser (OPTIONS). Maybe I could change the backend code and explicitly allow this method? Yes, this should work, but its too much and I give up!

This project could have more documentation and be more developer friendly.

In the .env, you can specify another backend url for this purpose:

# To debug the front end, you can set the following to an external backend
KYOO_URL=

Also, there is a docker-compose.dev.yml that should set everything up for you. You are right, kyoo needs a better contributing page & better schema/readme for technical topics

Okay, this is not working for me, can you try?

git clone https://github.com/zoriya/Kyoo.git
cd Kyoo/front
echo 'KYOO_URL=https://kyoo.darklyn.org' > .env # or https://kyoo.zoriya.dev/
yarn && yarn run web

KYOO_URL needs to be the api's url. So https://kyoo.darklyn.org/api for you. If you are not using docker-compose, you also need to use the .env. You can either do KYOO_URL=... yarn run web or set -a; source .env; set +a; before running yarn web
