Hi, everyone I’m using Tutor to run Open edX, with the edx-platform cloned and mounted for development. I have checked the mount list with > tutor mounts list shows mounts for openedx and openedx-dev images using the edx-platform context. I launched the development environment with > tutor dev launch , and the MFE container (overhangio/openedx-mfe:19.0.0-indigo) is running, mapping multiple ports (e.g., 1997-\>8002/tcp). However, I want to use a locally customized ‘frontend-app-authn’ MFE that I’ve forked, cloned, and modified, instead of the default MFE image. How can I configure Tutor to use my local ‘frontend-app-authn’ repository for the MFE instead of the default overhangio/openedx-mfe:19.0.0-indigo image? Note: other mfe are running from overhangio/openedx-mfe, my intention is to do customization for each mfe individually and test. for that i want to know how to do that atlease for a single mfe. Please any one who can help me with this. ---

Hi @teklu, The official documentation on how to do this is here: [Tutor MFE README " MFE development"](https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-mfe/?tab=readme-ov-file#mfe-development) There is also an alternate method (running the MFE on your host instead of inside docker) that is available for on some MFEs, e.g. [here are the instructions for the authoring MFE](https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-authoring?tab=readme-ov-file#getting-started). Let us know if one of those works for you. ---

Hi @Braden, thanks for your response, I will check both options and let you know, for your information, what i was doing to customize the authn mfe, first i stopped all mfe with > tutor dev stop mfe and then run what i have cloned with > npm run dev then that works as intended, but once i have registered or login, it will redirect to ‘/learner-dashboard’, and that mfe wasn’t running since i have stopped the entire mfe. I will check what you suggested and let you know. thank you again. ---

Yes, if you add an MFE like `authn` to your tutor mounts, then when you run `tutor dev start mfe` it will run all MFEs _except_ `authn`, and you can decide when/how to run authn, either by using `npm run dev` on your host or `tutor dev start authn` to run it (bind mounted) inside a docker container. ---
