How to run a 100% localhost dev environment #42
Description
In an attempt to better learn all the pieces to the atproto system, I'm trying to run the statusphere example app along with the bluesky-social/atproto repo. I was able to get both systems up and running, but now there's a few key things I'm wondering:
- The statusphere app ingests from the live bluesky relay, but it doesn't seem like the atproto repo runs a relay. My understanding is that in a localhost environment the relay is overkill since there is only one PDS, but it also probably makes sense to develop with a relay locally so that it's easy to push to production. Right??
- Is it possible to test oauth with a local PDS? I tried adding adding the localhost ads url to the statusphere ID resolver, but I still just end up with errors when I try to log in through the app. I know I can setup the Bluesky app to get everything working, but that's a direct password login and not using Oauth.
Any other tips to help with local development of 3rd party atproto apps would be greatly appreciated!
