This probably is one of those RTFM questions. But I can’t seem to see the answer in the getting started guide and the youtube vid of Athom.

[I try to follow along the guide](https://apps.developer.homey.app/the-basics/getting-started), but I seem to get the following error:

```auto
***@snijplank*** % homey app run

```

What am I missing here?

Also, you might have to fiddle around with the file sharing implementation (Settings \> General), I’m using VirtioFS which seems to work fine, but for others gRPC Fuse works better.

Lastly, you can choose to run your code on Homey itself instead of in a local Docker container:

```auto
$ homey app run --remote

```

Thanks Robert, That was indeed the solution. I thought my local Docker was interfering with the docker on the HP. Yes, that was an assumption that HP runs the apps locally in a container.

Maybe a note for the devs to include this step in the docs.

I’m afraid they don’t read every other post in here.  
Not sure if this is the right link, but there’re issue trackers for devs @ git. There should be a suggestions box around I think / hope.
