+#### Notes on render-configs:
+* Ensure that HOST is not set in your shell environment, as it will override the value in `.env.local`.
+* **Development against other envs**: If you want to point to other envs, you can populate public/config.json with the values from any 
 environment by looking at the deployed configs in https://duos-k8s.dsde-{%ENV%}.broadinstitute.org/config.json where 
 {%ENV%} is any of `dev`, `staging`, `alpha`, or `prod`. Remember to set the `env` value appropriately, for example,
 `dev`. Certain features are available only in specific environments. Setting the `env` value to the desired environment 
-will simulate it for local development. The installation steps outlined in this step can also be completed using the 
-[render-configs.sh](scripts/render-configs.sh) script which can generate all required files for local development.

+3 months and can be repopulated by re-running the script. Again, you'll need to be on the broad VPN.

-Download cert files from dev project (requires access to correct project - see [DUOS team members](https://github.com/orgs/DataBiosphere/teams/duos) for more specifics). Cert files are regenerated on a 3-month rotation so these will need to be updated when they are expired. The following commands need to be done on the Broad VPN.
-```shell
