The title basically says it all. I do not have a domain for the moment so I would like to run the Docker install locally. Why can’t I just run the Vagrant install locally as suggested by this post? It’s because I want to be able to send posts on my Discourse deployment from another application (in Javascript). As far as I know, in order to do that, I need to enable Cross-Origin Resource Sharing by modifying some settings in app.yml. The problem: the Vagrant install doesn’t have an app.yml. (Let me know if I made some false assumptions here). Also, if you know how I could send posts from my Javascript application to a Vagrant Discourse install, that would also solve my problem :sunglasses: Note: I don’t want to develop Discourse. Thanks!

You should be able to run it locally. To reply to your other question [image] vfortier: I want to be able to send posts on my Discourse deployment from another application (in Javascript). As far as I know, in order to do that, I need to enable Cross-Origin Resource Sharing You only need to enable CORS if the javascript you’re talking about is running on the client-side (ie. in your user’s browser). If it’s running on the server (probably using nodejs), you can just use the API :wink:

Do I need to have a server on DigitalOcean? Or I can use localhost?

Thanks for your answer! :grinning: Yes my javascript is running on the client-side. I’ll try to setup the Docker install locally then.

Is it possible to run Docker install locally?

You don’t need a domain to have a working Discourse. You can use the IP address of your server if you want.
