Manually set up /etc/hosts

If you can't use dnsmasq or equivalent, you can still configure hosts manually. The dev experience will be slightly more limited, but it will still work.

1. Add host entries to /etc./hosts

sudo nano /etc/hosts

Then, add these entires:

127.0.0.1 pockethost.test                      # The main domain
127.0.0.1 pockethost-central.pockethost.test   # The main pocketbase instance
127.0.0.1 test.pockethost.test                 # A sample (user) pocketbase instance

Add as many *.pockethost.test subdomains as you want to test. Since /etc/hosts does not support wildcarding, this must be done manually.
