Trying to run the command npm run dev resulted in the following error for me:

Node.js v19.6.0

I came across this solution which fixed it

export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider

Might be worth writing a note in the README about it. This was a fresh node v19.6 install over WSL Ubuntu.

Thanks for the solution @napulen. The server is working successfully. Do you know how to bypass the login window?

[Flomp]

Developer here. There is currently no option to bypass the login. When your pocketbase instance is up and running you should be able to make an account very easily though. For more info on self-hosting please check the documentation.
