Hi, I’m a frontend developer and would like to open PRs on github to fix some bugs and make some improvements. I pointed my local frontend to my Umbrel inside my LAN, as described in [this](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-dashboard) guide. Unfortunately, each request on localhost:8080 runs into a CORS error. Has anyone successfully set this up, or can point me to some resources? Also see [this](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-dashboard/issues/428) github issue. Thanks! ---

- Run Umbrel in a Virtualbox VM Ubuntu Server - Set a NAT network like the attached screenshot by Advanced\>“Port forwarding rules” and define the ports per app you’ll require, then you can browse localhost:8080 on the host machine without errors ![Umbrel Virtualbox portforwarding](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getumbrel/original/2X/b/b2ea973b81d024de86175eb4cfc955e293a55211.png) - You can ssh localhost -p 2222 to ease terminal input since the terminal on VM is slow and difficult to copy/paste or scroll up
