Hello, I'm trying to host my own activepieces instance on an enterprise VM running RHEL8 and I'm running into an issue where there's no pieces being loaded in. I'm assuming that the app reaches out to some external service to get pieces. So is there a way to run activepieces on an air-gapped system without access to the internet?

hi @antcangas most of our pieces use http requests to call external apis, unless you don't intend to use them, plus we install them from npm to run them, so there's that too for ones that don't use http requests.

Hi @Abdul (Viva-Palestina)💔 thanks for your response! So what about data manipulation nodes and logic flow nodes. Any thoughts on why those nodes wouldn’t be showing up in a locally hosted instance? Thanks!

they are pieces that you get via syncing with our cloud pieces registery, if your instance has no access to the internet it won't be able to do that
