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!
