You can test custom actions locally without syncing on every change.
Local registry should only be used for development. Production deployments should use remote custom registry sync.

​
Why local development

  • Faster feedback loop
  • No need to sync on every change
  • No need to republish a workflow to use the latest platform and custom actions

​
How to enable local development

In your .env file, set the following environment variables:
  1. TRACECAT__LOCAL_REPOSITORY_ENABLED to true
  2. TRACECAT__LOCAL_REPOSITORY_PATH to the path of your local repository e.g. ~/repos/my-local-registry
  3. PYTHONPATH to /app/local_registry:
TRACECAT__LOCAL_REPOSITORY_ENABLED=true
TRACECAT__LOCAL_REPOSITORY_PATH=~/dev/org/internal-registry
PYTHONPATH=/app/local_registry:
