-- Remember to `pnpm build` in `tauri-plugin-appload` before running the `pnpm tauri dev` server. Those exports needs to be built in `tauri-plugin-appload/dist-js` before they can be used.

-- Remember to build `hoppscotch-selfhost-web` with `HOPP_ALLOW_RUNTIME_ENV=true pnpm generate` to enable `import-meta-env` runtime env var injections into the built files.
+#### Hoppscotch Desktop App is a cross-platform [Hoppscotch](https://hoppscotch.io) app built with [Tauri V2](https://v2.tauri.app/)
 
-- Always check `build.rs` file in the plugin directory to make sure newly added commands are defined in the `COMMANDS` static str, these are used to generate permissions. This should regenerate `permissions` directory contents. Default permissions can be set with `default.toml` in the same directory.

+>
+> e.g. to allow connection to `https://hoppscotch.mydomain.com` you need to add `app://hoppscotch_mydomain_com` to the `WHITELISTED_ORIGINS` environment variable.

+> [!Note]
+> For docker setup, the desktop app uses a server at port `3200`, and it is part of the frontend container:
+> 
+> ```
+> ❯ docker run -p 3000:3000 -p 3200:3200 hoppscotch/hoppscotch-frontend
+> ```
+> 
+> Once the container is live, you can enter `[your-ip]:3200` or simply the base address of the instance if you are using [subpath access](https://docs.hoppscotch.io/guides/articles/self-host-hoppscotch-on-your-own-servers#4-subpath-access).
