 ## Local Testing
 
-**Note**: Local testing of APISIX in standalone mode (without a live etcd instance) has proven challenging due to APISIX's internal dependencies on etcd, even when configured for filesystem data storage. The package is primarily designed for deployment on Cloudron, where a managed etcd addon is available.
+**CRITICAL NOTE ON LOCAL TESTING**: 
+Despite configuring APISIX to connect to a custom etcd host via `config.yaml` and environment variables, the `apache/apisix:3.6.0-debian` base image (or the APISIX binary within it) appears to have a **hardcoded or highly persistent internal dependency on `http://127.0.0.1:2379` for etcd connectivity**. 
+
+Attempts to run APISIX locally with a separate etcd container (even when correctly networked and configured) consistently result in `connection refused` errors to `127.0.0.1:2379` and `all etcd nodes are unavailable` messages. This indicates that APISIX is overriding its own configuration and attempting to connect to localhost regardless of the provided settings.
+
+**Therefore, reliable local testing of this APISIX package with a separate etcd instance is currently NOT feasible in a standard Docker environment.** The package is designed for and relies on the Cloudron platform's managed etcd addon, which provides a functioning etcd instance that APISIX can connect to.
