Adding localhost as a remote scope to my Bit.dev project returns a permission denied error - bit.dev

Question

I'd like to add a local scope server as a remote scope to my project. However, when I run bit remote add "http://localhost:3001" I get a error: permission to scope "" (http://localhost:3001) was denied along with a troubleshoot url that redirects me to the Bit homepage.
I'm running bit version 0.0.779, and work within a company proxy.
Setting up and running my local scope
Following these bare scope directions I do the following:
mkdir my-scope
cd my-scope
bit init --bare
bit start --port localhost:3001
Adding remote scope
In an existing, local react project I do the following:
bit init
bit add /path/to/my/compnent
bit remote add http://localhost:3001
Problem
Running bit remote add http:localhost:3001 returns:
error: permission to scope "" (http://localhost:3001) was denied
see troubleshooting at https://legacy-docs.bit.dev/docs/setup-authentication#authentication-issues
Does anyone know why I might be getting denied from setting localhost as my remote scope?

Answer 1

You can use the docker container to simplify the process of hosting scopes.
see details here - https://bit.dev/docs/scope/running-a-scope-server
regardless, it seems that the issue is just a typo, as you forgot to set // in the host url parameter of your command.
