OpenC3 5.0.9 is here and with it a great new feature called Local Mode!

Local mode defines a standard structure for your project’s OpenC3 configuration, primarily plugins, and keeps it in sync with what you do through the web interface. It also encourages running from our official released containers, and not checking out the whole openc3 repo and building from source.

Local mode is best implemented using the project template now available at https://github.com/OpenC3/cosmos-project.

See getting started directions below.
