I don't think it's necessary but it is useful and doesn't hurt. I should mention that I think I don't work with DSpace 7 in quite the same way that most do right now. From the first, I've been building and copying the front end as if for production use. So I don't know a lot about the *typical* development environment. I use NetBeans for developing both back end and front end, but I never run either from there; I have a few scripts that copy things to the right places, and I'll usually have at least one terminal window running as root to do restarts and monitor logs. Rather than using 'pm2' as most? do, I've written initscripts to directly run the the backend and frontend services just as most OS-provided daemons are run. So, someone else may be your best bet for detailed advice on how most sites develop and run DSpace 7. > On Fri, Jan 6, 2023 at 7:40 AM Mark H.
