Run the server wherever you like (the\n[`Server.Dockerfile`](./Server.Dockerfile) and [`server.compose.yaml`](./server.compose.yaml)\nare ready to go), then point the extension at it: open the popup, click the server\nrow, **Change**, and enter your address (e.g. `https://watch.example.com`). It pings\nthe address to confirm a Watchbear server is there before switching.\n\nThe extension origin (`chrome-extension://…`) is allowed by default, so no CORS\nconfig is needed for the client. To also allow a web origin, set `CORS_ORIGINS`\n(comma-separated) on the server.\n\n**Whole workspace**\n\n```bash\npnpm build        # build every app\npnpm typecheck    # type-check every app\n```\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\" href=\"https://github.com/halitsever/watchbear/issues\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https://halitsever-api.vercel.app/api/issue\"/\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https://halitsever-api.vercel.app/api/sponsor\"/\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https://halitsever-api.vercel.app/api/license\"/\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  MIT LICENSE - Halit Sever \n\u003c/p\u003e\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhalitsever%2Fwatchbear","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fhalitsever%2Fwatchbear","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fhalitsever%2Fwatchbear/lists"}
