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](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-discourse-be-installed-on-a-local-host-i-dont-possess-any-domain-at-this-time/13502/2)? 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](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-enable-cross-origin-resource-sharing-with-docker/15413/3) 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 🕶
Note: I don’t want to develop Discourse.
Thanks!

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

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

You should be able to run it locally.

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 😉

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