Thank you @mzedel for detailed reply. If we want to run the GUI outside of the container, how can we run it with standard npm or yarn start. So in order to run GUI in standalone:

1. Clone the GUI repo
2. Add the env.js as above
3. Change the redux action files to point them to [hosted.mender.io/api/](http://hosted.mender.io/api/)
4. yarn install, yarn start?
5. will the hosted.mender username and auth just work? How do we get around CORS?

Will that work?
