+
+Please note that Webpack (dev) will proxy all API requests (/api) to the host `http://localhost:8080` (see the `devServer` key in [webpack.config.cjs](webpack.config.cjs)). This MUST match your backend server's (dev-server) listening port, which is by default 8080.
+
+**Finally, connect to http://localhost:8081** (webpack, not the raw express server)
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+1. Database SELECT/INSERTs are failing, but I can connect to the DB
+
+Make sure you have granted the right permissions to your DB user.
+
+```
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE user TO dbname;
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO user;
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA public TO user;
+```
+
+2. `[HPM] Error occurred while trying to proxy request /api/stats from localhost:8080 to http://localhost:8080`
+
+Your Webpack instance is listening on 8080, when it should be listening on 8081 and proxying to the express server at 8080. Make sure to run `npm run dev-server` first and make sure it ran properly.
+
+3. `Error: Cannot find package 'bcrypt'`
+
+The `bcrypt` package has native dependencies that must match your Node version. If you upgrade Node, they will be outdated. To fix this, you need to remove your `node_modules/` directory and run `npm install` again to kick off another native build of this dependency.
+
 ## Production Running/Building
 Follow the same steps as above, but instead run `npm run production` at the very end.
