 #### 3a. Run the development server against a non-local instance
 
-To run the development server against a non-local instance, you will need to provide an environment variable, `SNOWPACK_PUBLIC_API_HOST` that tells the web application how to connect to the Frigate API:
-
-```console
-cd web && SNOWPACK_PUBLIC_API_HOST=http://<ip-address-to-your-frigate-instance>:5000 npm run start
