Is it possible to self host without using vscode or dev containers?

At a glance

A community member has set up a VM running Ubuntu 24 and installed necessary tools like Git, Docker, and Docker Compose. They have cloned the Webstudio repository and tried to run the application using the pnpm dev command, but the URL does not work. The community member is unsure how the URL is supposed to work without changing the hosts file and would like to use an internal URL instead.

Other community members have responded, indicating they are also experiencing similar issues. One community member suggests using the dev-container CLI version to build Webstudio. Another community member notes that the issue is currently broken and the Webstudio team needs to fix it. A link to a Discord channel is provided where the community members can discuss the issue further. Some community members are interested in running Webstudio locally without using Visual Studio Code and suggest that a guide should be added to the documentation.

Useful resources
So far this what I have done. I started a vm running. Keep mind this just a summary if I need to add logs or more details I can.

  • start vm via proxmox the os: ubuntu 24
  • installed git, docker, docker-compose
  • gave user permission to use docker
  • clone the the Webstudio repository (I will fork later once everything is working)
  • cd to .devcontainer then ran the command dock-compose up --build
  • then connected to container to run the postinstall script
  • then finally went to / workspaces/webstudio/ and ran the command pnpm dev
But the url doesn't work also can I use a different url. How is this url supposed work without changing any hosts file. I would really like to use on of my internal urls.

Have you managed to make any progress on this issue?
Im also having the same issue. Alternatively I used dev-container cli version to build webstudio.
It is broken for now and @Webstudio Team has to fix it up.
Do you have any specific reason to use local builder or just playing with it?
I think a guide needs to be added to the docs for people running webstudio locally without vscode
My Internet speed is a booze right here. Just wanted to explore Web Studio locally
