Hi team! I was setting up the project locally via

CONTRIBUTING.md

and ran into a CORS error on the login screen (UI on

8081

vs. API on

5080

). I’d love to raise a quick PR to fix this for future contributors. Which approach would you prefer? 1. Frontend fix: Add a Vite proxy in

web/vite.config.ts

to forward API calls to

5080

(looks like

stores/index.ts

already expects this). 2. Docs fix: Update

CONTRIBUTING.md

to run the backend with

ZO_WEB_URL="<http://localhost:8081>" cargo run

, which natively satisfies CORS.

localhost:8081 should work with localhost:5080. If it doesn't check these two env variables in your `.env`:

ZO_WEB_URL = "<http://localhost:8081>"
ZO_CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS = "<http://localhost:3000>, <http://localhost:5173>, <http://localhost:8081>"

Option 2: If it still doesn't work, run

npm run build

and access the UI via

localhost:5080/web

instead. You will be able to test the entire UI from there.

Hi @Patel Bhargav Jayantibhai Yes option 1 works perfectly fine. Since

CONTRIBUTING.md

currently doesn't mention adding

ZO_WEB_URL

or

ZO_CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS

for local dev (which is why I got blocked out-of-the-box), would you like me to raise a quick PR to add them to the setup instructions?

sure
