I keep getting redirect to deployed website when i try to access http://localhost:5173/admin/index.html

[teotimepacreau]

Describe the bug
When I try to access the local admin page (http://localhost:5173/admin/index.html) it redirects me everytime to the deployed Netlify page, so I can't make any changes locally

Expected behavior
When going to the localhost admin/index.html page, accessin to the local DECAP admin panel and allow to add posts locally

@teotimepacreau does this happen on decap v3 also?

[teotimepacreau]

@martinjagodic

Yes, I just tried with Decap v3 (installed through npm) and doing exactly the same problem no matter what I change in the config.yml. See my repo branch with Decap V3 in use

package.json :
"dependencies": {
"decap-cms": "^3.0.12"
}

I see. You need to run the local server, not login with GitHub. See here: https://decapcms.org/docs/working-with-a-local-git-repository/

now working thanks a lot !
for Docs enhancement purpose, please add that "Run npx decap-server must be run in parallel with the local development server of the app (typically npm run dev)" in https://decapcms.org/docs/working-with-a-local-git-repository/. Because doc is really unclear.

Please consider doing a beginner friendly tuto vid with the 2 approaches you are developping in your presentation vid (localhost and netlify deployed) Unleashing the Power of Git-Based Content Management Systems - Martin Jagodic (Decap CMS), because it makes believe that localhost and deployed DECAP admin page are available by default without modifying the config each time to switch between the two
