Attempting to run dev-server on regtest with a remote node/Esplora backend

[thunderbiscuit]

Hi there!

I'm looking to fire up the server using a remote regtest Esplora instance hosted in the cloud. The Esplora server works well and is available to outside connections (I can make curl requests to it and whatnot, ports, firewall, etc.) but I'm so far unable to get the block explorer to work with it (getting the old "We encountered an error. Please try again later." screen).

I think I'm probably just missing arguments to my launch command but I have not been able find the info I need so far. Would you guys be able to help me on this? Here is how I currently set it up:

export API_URL=http://cloudmachineip:60002/
npm run dev-server bitcoin-regtest

# also tried npm run dev-server, doesn't work either

I found the solution in the answer to issue #287 and the accompanying Stack Overflow answer.

My electrs/esplora instance needed to be started with the --cors argument set, for example by using --cors "*".

Thank you!
