You might want to use `topicID` as mentioned at [Embed Discourse comments on another website via Javascript](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embedding-discourse-comments-via-javascript/31963#alternate-configuration-linking-to-existing-topics).

I wouldn’t be surprised if “localhost” is prohibited for various reasons. This would tell your forum server to embed on itself. 😵

If you are using Hugo maybe load the comment template conditionally, or pass baseURL explicitly in the template, so even during development you’ll load `discourseEmbedUrl: 'https://foo.com/blog/2019-11-22/foo-0.9.6-released'`.
