I’m testing Discourse Embed comment system for my static blog using React locally but I can’t get it to work. I’m sure that I read [the instruction](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embedding-discourse-comments-via-javascript/31963) like 10 times. So I’m thinking that localhost should be the blocker here.
Set up :
- A fake domain `cpp.dev` in `/etc/hosts` to for routing to localhost. Let’s say it’s `cpp.dev`
- Discourse : Using vagrant with latest commit from Github.
- My website is running at `http://cpp.dev:3000`
- I added both `cpp.dev:3000`and `cpp.dev` to hosts list in Admin \> Customize \> Embedding section
- Website embed code:
```js
DiscourseEmbed = {
discourseUrl: "http://cpp.dev:4000/",
discourseEmbedUrl: window.location,
}
```
Looking good, now let’s run it. It shows up an iframe with `loading discussion` forever.
- In terminal, I see this message:

Where is the wrong part in my setup ? Any help would be appriciated.

This might be due to vagrant’s port forwarding. Your site believes its host is `:4000` when in fact it’s `:3000`. When I test locally I am not using such port forwarding and it works correctly.
Perhaps try the `force hostname` site setting with `:3000`? That might correct the issue.

I’m not too familiar with Vagrant or Ruby ecosystem but can you tell me how to start Discourse in a different port (say 4000) so the port is the same in Vagrant and host machine.

I don’t think you can start it on the same port in both machines but maybe someone can correct me. I run Discourse on “bare metal” but just installing ruby/etc on OSX.

Yeah. Using Vagrant is a little slow on my old Linux machine. I believe there is a Advanced Development Installation Guide to run Discourse directly on the host machine.
Turn out, using port 3000 on both guest and host machine is quite simple. Just open Vagrantfile and edit the port forwarding section.
I’m testing the original problem and give feedback later

New setup :
- Discourse port: 3000 (both guest and host machine)
- My website: 3001
OK. So I set `force hostname` to `localhost:3000`
Same error on browser console
```plaintext

I Installed a Discourse instance on Digital Ocean VPS (with getting started guide) and everything started working again. So to answer the topic’s title: No, it’s not possible.

Clarification: It does work on localhost if you use bare metal, as I’ve done this many times. The issue here is finding a sutiable vagrant configuration to test/develop it.
As for your error, you’ve forced hostname to `localhost:3000` and are visiting it on `http://cpp.dev:3001` – those need to match so I’d force the hostname to be whatever you are access it via your web browser.

Can we confirm this still works on a local bare-metal environment (specifically Mac). I’m wanting to work on a solution for embedding comments on a site behind basic http auth, but can’t get comments embedding between two localhost ports for development. I am whitelisting the site correctly, but am getting stuck on the “Loading Discussion…” view. I can get it breaking correctly with a 401 error in production, but when local, the [job](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/controllers/embed_controller.rb#L50) seems to just up and disappear.
