how to setup local appview dev environment#

Appview requires several microservices from knot and spindle to entire atproto infra. This test environment is implemented under nixos vm.

copy contrib/example.env to .env, fill it and source it
run vm

nix run --impure .#vm

trust the generated cert from host machine

# for macos
sudo security add-trusted-cert -d -r trustRoot \
  -k /Library/Keychains/System.keychain \
  ./nix/vm-data/caddy/.local/share/caddy/pki/authorities/local/root.crt

create test accounts with valid emails (use create-test-account.sh)
create default labels (use setup-const-records)
restart vm with correct owner-did

for git-https, you should change your local git config:
