Hi everyone, during my holidays I wanted to learn more about flowforge.
I installed version 0.7.0 on a VM with ubuntu server 20.04 without DE.
From the documentation I was unable to install the various versions of the stacks (in the end by trial and error, I was able to via the file /opt/flowforge/bin/ff-install-stack.sh and passing it the version of node-red).
Not having the DE, I modified the /opt/flowforge/etc/flowforge.yml file by modifying host: 0.0.0.0 to have external access.
Flowforge restarted, created the project and started. However, the project always points to localhost: 7880. Even changing with the IP of the machine, as soon as it requires authentication it points back to localhost.
How can I enable the opening of the editor with IP: 7880?
Thank you.

Hi @Folgore
I'm wary of turning this forum into a FlowForge help forum as it won't be relevant to most users here. Our main support mechanism is via raising an issue on [GitHub - flowforge/flowforge: The FlowForge Platform](https://github.com/flowforge/flowforge), or in the #flowforge channel on the Node-RED slack.
For your specific question - I'm not sure what `DE` is in this context.
In your `flowforge.yml` file, what have you set `base_url` to? This determines the base url the projects use. Note that we do not support changing that value after you have created projects (as the value gets copied into the project-specific settings).

Sorry for the OT.
Response 1. I have not installed a Desktop Environment on Ubuntu.
Response 2. in base url I have try set
base\_url: [http://192.168.8.107:3000](http://192.168.8.107:3000)
my ip is 192.168.8.107
But in settings.js file on my "instance", i found this:
adminAuth: require('@flowforge/nr-auth')({
baseURL: '[http://localhost:7880](http://localhost:7880)',
forgeURL: '[http://192.168.8.107:3000](http://192.168.8.107:3000)',
clientID: 'ffp\_l9cbp4EVA6RShjdpVyrrFY5ov-U9e\_dqjGvlos67JKs',
clientSecret: '-JMhQ0pKiKRrRmdMmV7mVZPfKrTSDGZNA\_WdU3lCHLSXoKz97cvOQY3T\>
})
If i change baseURL, after istance restart return to [http://localhost:7880](http://localhost:7880).
If there is the problem I write the post in GitHUb (in Issue?)
thank's

Did you create the project before or after you set `base_url` to the ip address? As I mentioned, we do not currently support changing that value after you have created a project.

Yes, I just tried to create a new project and I open correctly the editor.
I have only one question. In the local installation is possible add a user in a team or only in Cloud ?

You can add users in a local install via the Admin Settings panels - see the [docs](https://flowforge.com/docs/admin/user_management/) for details
