11/23/2023, 1:25 PMIs it not possible to setup this as we do on local without these env variables?

11/28/2023, 1:29 AMYes, when self-hosting GrowthBook locally, you still need to set environment variables to customize the behavior of your instance.
The default configuration is optimized for trying things out quickly on a local dev machine, but beyond that, you may want to set environment variables for various purposes, such as changing domains and ports, configuring a database, or setting up email.

11/28/2023, 1:30 AMFor example, if you need to run GrowthBook on a different host than `localhost` or change the default ports, you would need to set the `APP_ORIGIN` and `API_HOST` environment variables in your `docker-compose.yml` file.
Here's an example snippet showing how to set these variables:
Copy code
yaml
growthbook:
...
environment:
- APP_ORIGIN=http://<my ip>:3000
- API_HOST=http://<my ip>:3100rhythmic-agent-34208
