Background

It's possible to use IPFS WebUI with a remote Kubo node, but this isn't well documented . Since this came up in https://discuss.ipfs.tech/t/json-web-tokens-and-the-ipfs-desktop-app-for-mac/19033/2 I decided to figure out how to configure this and document this.


## Configuring CORS for use with IPFS Web UI

In this step, we will configure [CORS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS) to allow the [webui.ipfs.io](https://webui.ipfs.io/) to access the Kubo RPC API.
