Steps to Reproduce

You need 2 machines in your network:

• Your local dev machine with IP: 192.168.0.100
• Your strong server with IP 192.168.0.200

Steps:

1. Deploy verba using docker compose from this repo docker compose up -d --build on your server machine
2. Open http://192.168.0.200:8000 on your dev machine
3. Press Docker option
4. App is stuck

Additional context

Possible workaround is using ssh tunnels to access Verba ssh -L 8001:localhost:8000 [email protected], then website works under http://localhost:8001 on dev machine

Hey thanks for the issue! This is because of this @middleware section

Verba/goldenverba/server/api.py

Line 82 in 30ae51e

@app.middleware("http")

It checks if the requests have the same origin, since it's deployed on another machine it fails with the CORS error message. I'll think of a way to disable this, but for now the workaround would be to simply delete the whole custom middleware logic. Let me know if that works for you 🚀
