How to run mozilla hubs on my local machine?

Question

I've been trying to run mozilla hubs locally because I want to customize it. But the problem is, the documentation includes the deployment on aws and digital ocean.

Later I cloned https://github.com/mozilla/hubs - the hubs client and also cloned https://github.com/mozilla/reticulum - the reticulum server

I followed the exact same instructions as mentioned. Correct me if I'm wrong.

When running the client alone : 1. Cloned the client https://github.com/mozilla/hubs 2. Installed the dependencies using npm ci 3. npm run dev runs the client locally. 4. Clicking on scene editor gives me this 'Cannot GET /spoke'

When running it with the reticulum server: 1. I followed the same steps as mentioned in https://github.com/mozilla/reticulum 2. Installed all the dependencies PostgreSQL and Elixir+Phoenix 3. mix deps.get (no error) 4. mix ecto.create (no error as I already changed the password) 5. From the assets directory, npm install 6. From the project directory mkdir -p storage/dev 7. Started the server using iex -S mix phx.server 8. Mapped hubs.local to 127.0.0.1 in the /etc/hosts file 9. Started the client https://github.com/mozilla/hubs by npm run local 10. As per the instruction, when I navigate to https://hubs.local:4000?skipadmin, I get error on the server terminal, and the browser screen as well. I am attaching it below. Error image on server terminal and and browser

Please help me resolve this issue. If I am doing something wrong, please let me know and tell me how can I run mozilla hubs locally to make some modifications.

Did you manage to solve this? Its weird that hubs works only on aws — Lorenzo Von Matterhorn, Nov 28 '20 at 18:36
Also looking into this, I have found that there is an issue started on GH tracking this, although no response from the team or other expert: https://github.com/mozilla/reticulum/issues/423 — truedat101, Dec 06 '20 at 18:27

Maybe I'm a bit late, and maybe you've been already through this but in case anyone want to try it further : Did you try to skip the admin step by opening https://hubs.local:8080 and then use the email trick you can pick up from the running reticulum?
