Description

I would like to ask whether PostHog can be installed as a self-hosted instance without using a domain name.

Is there any documented method or step-by-step guide available for this setup?

The self-hosted documentation on the website appears to assume the use of a domain, so I would appreciate clarification if there is an alternative approach.

Research direction

Start with the self-hosted documentation on the website, which the issue says assumes a domain name. Check the documented installation flow and deployment requirements to determine whether a domainless setup is supported. Done means clarifying the supported approach and adding a step-by-step guide or explicitly documenting the limitation.
