Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.
I think this is possible – I’d love to hear if it works for you. The main reason that Local requires admin privileges is when starting site in “Site Domain” Router mode. This is because Local needs admin access to the Hosts file in order to register the site domain with the computer.
In theory, if you set “Router Mode” to localhost in “Preferences > Advanced”, then Local won’t need to update the hosts file, and users should be able to create sites that listen on various ports, one for each site.
