Local Hostname Setup

The generated frontend development server uses:

http://app.local.corva.ai:8080

Map the hostname to your computer by adding this entry to the hosts file:

127.0.0.1 app.local.corva.ai

macOS and Linux​

Open the hosts file with administrator access:

sudo nano /etc/hosts

Add the entry, save, and close the editor. On macOS, flush the DNS cache if the hostname still does not resolve:

sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

Windows​

  1. Open Notepad with Run as administrator.
  2. Open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts. Select All Files in the open dialog so the file is visible.
  3. Add the entry and save the file.

Verify​

Start the app, then open http://app.local.corva.ai:8080 directly. If it does not load:

  • Confirm the dev server is still running.
  • Confirm the URL uses http, not https.
  • Confirm the port is 8080.
  • Check that the hosts entry is not commented out with #.
  • Check whether another process already uses port 8080.
