Test deployments without mocks

[geichelberger]

This change allows to configure the Axios client to use a different base
URL and set the authentication header.

NODE_ENV=development
VITE_TEST_SERVER_URL=https://develop.opencast.org/
VITE_TEST_SERVER_AUTH="admin:opencast"

Fixes #395

[ziegenberg]

Can you amend the Readme.md with the new ENV options?

[geichelberger]

There will be more documentation when it's ready for review. I will refactor it after #472 is merged,

Can the mock data be re-used for Unit and integration tests? So, should we throw it away with this PR or keep it for later use?

[geichelberger]

The data is not gone. It's still in the commit history.

That's like, "The money isn't gone; it's just somewhere else now". Nobody will remember that the data is still in the commit history. The question is: Can the mock data be re-used for unit and integration tests? If yes, should we keep it for later use?

[geichelberger]

To have data that is not used and, therefore, not maintained makes no sense. And with the argumentation that we may need it in the future, we should not remove unused stuff at all.

Use docker or podman to test this pull request locally.

Run test server using develop.opencast.org as backend:

podman run --rm -it -p 127.0.0.1:3000:3000 ghcr.io/opencast/opencast-admin-interface:pr-483

Specify a different backend like stable.opencast.org:

podman run --rm -it -p 127.0.0.1:3000:3000 -e PROXY_TARGET=https://stable.opencast.org ghcr.io/opencast/opencast-admin-interface:pr-483

It may take a few seconds for the interface to spin up.
It will then be available at http://127.0.0.1:3000.
For more options you can pass on to the proxy, take a look at the README.md.

Should we document the environment variables? They should only be used in the workflows, and the other workflow-specific variables are not documented either.

I'm not sure how common this will be, in testing against localhost I could not get this to work until I put a proxy with a wide open CORS config in between. So VITE_TEST_SERVER_URL="http://localhost:8080" did not work, but VITE_TEST_SERVER_URL="http://localhost" <- now with proxy! did. Would it be worth explaining that here, or am I sufficiently out of touch with frontend dev that this is something that's obvious?

[geichelberger]

I think CORS is Daily Business nowadays, and the Vite proxy would be a better fit for local scenarios.

Wow, this has been utterly forgotten >.>. Looks good to me though, just one checkstyle complaint.
