Speckle Manager to local development server (another topic)

Hey @Yonggu

we used to have a proxy setup on the server back in the days for Frontend-1.

For frontend-2 we have moved away from this setup being the default for performance reasons. Loading the new frontend in dev mode requires making ~1000 requests, mostly for frontend resources.

So the actual dev experience is not great with this, but if you are ok with a bit of degraded performance while adding your account, i’ve created a PR, that makes the frontend proxy behavior independently usable via an environment variable.

So pls pull latest main from the server, set USE_FRONTEND_PROXY=true in your .env file, and point manager to your backend url, most probably http://localhost:3000.

Let me know if this doesn’t work for some reason.

ps:

post account registration, you are better of using the frontend via its own url http://localhost:8081, and manager + connectors will be ok talking to the server via the registered url.
