Hi,

I was going to do all this setup by hand, and found this this (gratefully!)
I was thinking that maybe the default behaviour for a localstack deployment should be using --local https://www.pulumi.com/docs/concepts/state/#local-filesystem or a file://

backend

This would make more sense as a lot of people will not persist their localstack environments (for example, i use it in a docker-compose service)

Cheers

Hi @andreujuanc .
If you set your PULUMI_BACKEND_URL to something like file:///Users/andre/localdev/pulumi-state then you will get what you want. There is no need to run pulumi login when you use PULUMI_BACKEND_URL and PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE.

For example

Set your PULUMI_BACKEND_URL

export PULUMI_BACKEND_URL=file:///Users/andre/localdev/pulumi-state

Set your PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE

PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE=andre123

Create a stack called dev

pulumilocal stack select -c dev --non-interactive

Deploy the stack

pulumilocal up

Hi @andreujuanc!
As @cabeaulac have stated the behaviour is easily modifiable, however the README is not reflecting/highlighting this enough. We plan to add some extra clarification in the near future in regards to this.
