#### Standalone Testrig with Pinafore
#### Standalone Testrig with Semaphore
You can launch a testrig as a standalone server running at localhost, which you can connect to using something like [Pinafore](https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore).
You can launch a testrig as a standalone server running at localhost, which you can connect to using something like [Semaphore](https://github.com/NickColley/semaphore/).
To do this, first build the gotosocial binary with `./scripts/build.sh`.
To do this, first build the gotosocial binary with `DEBUG=1 ./scripts/build.sh`.
Then, launch the testrig by invoking the binary as follows:
Then, launch the testrig with the `DEBUG` environment variable set by invoking the binary as follows:
```bash
./gotosocial testrig start
DEBUG=1 ./gotosocial testrig start
```
To run Pinafore locally in dev mode, first clone the [Pinafore](https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore) repository, and then run the following command in the cloned directory:
To run Semaphore locally in dev mode, first clone the [Semaphore](https://github.com/NickColley/semaphore/) repository, and then run the following commands in the cloned directory:
```bash
yarn # install dependencies
yarn run dev
```
The Pinafore instance will start running on `localhost:4002`.
The Semaphore instance will start running on `localhost:4002`.
To connect to the testrig, navigate to `http://localhost:4002` and enter your instance name as `localhost:8080`.
