Please forgive my stupid question here.
To launch my node-template under the TEST NETWORKS category, do I need to host my own polkadot/apps like what GeekCash did?
What is the correct command to perform on substrate-node-template
? the examples are always--dev --tmp
.
To access your local-running testnet through Polkadot.js Apps, scroll down in this sidebar to "local development" and enter the URL to your running node, probably something like ws://localhost:9944
if you didn't make any changes. You will not be deploying this as a test network, because that section of the UI is just for long-running test networks by teams that want to test their functionality long-term. For throwaway use cases of local development, use Local Development by scrolling down in the sidebar.
