[Automation] Configure the tests to run directly on specific urls
Currently, the tests are using localhost
as their target url - the prod environment is build & then used for testing inside the CI, much like the local environment has to be up & running before running the tests.
In order for the tests to be run directly on a given url (e.g. https://colab.cloud68.co/), there should be cypress config files created for each instance, which should contain the urls needed to run the tests.
Given the fact that the CI tests also directly use the DB in order to populate tables with test data, this would also mean editing the tests to run in a way which does not affect the actual prod users' data (e.g. user accounts, user manuscripts, etc.) or removing the direct DB commands entirely & run the tests much like a normal user would (i.e. without having DB access)
