problem 405 (Method Not Allowed) after making a build, running dev disconnects on refresh, no generating form link

[Ono-T1m]

deployed the backend successfully with pm2, on ubuntu server
when i deploy the front (npm run build) with nginx i can access the login page but cannot connect
in console i get 405 (Method Not Allowed)
using the testing (npm run dev) works and can login
this is running on a virtual machine without domain just static ip ubuntu 20 postgresql 14 node 16 without docker
now the dev version can be run with npm permanently but everytime i refresh the webpage it logs out, and the link to share an uploaded form doesn't generate.
any help please?

Hi @Ono-T1m! I can't tell whether you're trying to set up Central Frontend for local development. If you're deploying Central to a server, you should check out our Docker infrastructure. That's the only infrastructure for deploying Central that we support. Note that the nginx config in this repository is intended for local development only. npm run dev is also intended for local development only.

In the future and for any follow-up questions, please post to the ODK forum. More of the community is on the forum and will be able to see your questions there.

This is for a local test only without docker, thanks for mentioning the forum
