Adapter unavailable when open Meshery playground on local host via Mesheryctl

[Kunyue.Xing]

Hi,

After forking the Meshery/Meshery repo and cloning the repo to my local dir, I tried to run Mesheryctl following the contributor instructions.
i.e., run make in the mesheryctl folder, then run ./mesheryctl system start

The playground opened on localhost shows adapter unavailable, and it looks quite different from that opened directly at the Meshery playground website

The console output are as follows,

A new release of mesheryctl is available:  → v0.7.88
https://github.com/meshery/meshery/releases/tag/v0.7.88
Check https://docs.meshery.io/installation/upgrades#upgrading-meshery-cli for instructions on how to update mesheryctl

Starting Meshery...

Meshery deployed on Kubernetes.
Meshery is starting...

I’m not sure if this is normal or whether I missed something when building and running.

Hello @Kunyue.Xing!
When building and running meshery locally, you need to run the adapters locally too.

Local Setup - deploying adapter issue

@Yana_Gupta The crux of the issue is that adapters cannot be deployed when you are running locally. Here, locally means using you ran server using make server. If you’d like to connect to any of the adapters then you’d have to run them locally too. That is by running make run into the respective directory of adapter (eg GitHub - meshery/meshery-istio: Meshery adapter for Istio). If you’d like to deploy/undeploy adapter then you’d first have to deploy Meshery either in Kub…
