Hi,

I’m currently setting up the Affine development environment using the official devcontainer (inside Docker, in VS Code). I’ve successfully managed to run the different packages—server, web, etc.—and I see the frontend on localhost.

However, I’m facing a few issues while trying to contribute:

The frontend only shows the default workspace and offers only the cloud option. I can’t add or connect to my self-hosted local server (localhost:3010 also hosted in vscode), even though it must be used internally, since the web package refuses to start without the server running.

My main concern is:
How is the frontend supposed to connect to the local server in a dev setup, and how can I enable persistent workspaces or skip the cloud-only behavior?

Bonus question:
Is hot-reloading supported for the web package when running inside the devcontainer?
This is duplicate of the discord thread but no one is answering there

Would really appreciate guidance or clarification.

Thanks!
