By default it will listen on the IP address `127.0.0.1`, which is the IP for your machine to communicate with itself alone (`localhost`).

## `fastapi run`

When you run `fastapi run`, it will run on production mode by default.

It will have **auto-reload disabled** by default.

    ```

!!! note
    Keep in mind that in this case, FastAPI won't check the contents of the list.

    For example, `List[int]` would check (and document) that the contents of the list are integers. But `list` alone wouldn't.

## Declare more metadata

You can add more information about the parameter.

That information will be included in the generated OpenAPI and used by the documentation user interfaces and external tools.

        app = FastAPI()

        @app.head("/items/", status_code=204)
        def get_items_headers(response: Response):
            response.headers["X-Cat-Dog"] = "Alone in the world"
        ```
        """
        return self.router.head(
            path,
            response_model=response_model,
            status_code=status_code,
            tags=tags,

It's still possible to use `BackgroundTask` alone in FastAPI, but you have to create the object in your code and return a Starlette `Response` including it.

```Dockerfile
CMD ["fastapi", "run", "app/main.py", "--proxy-headers", "--port", "80"]
```

#### Docker Cache

There's an important trick in this `Dockerfile`, we first copy the **file with the dependencies alone**, not the rest of the code. Let me tell you why is that.

```Dockerfile
COPY ./requirements.txt /code/requirements.txt
```

        app = FastAPI()
        router = APIRouter()

        @router.head("/items/", status_code=204)
        def get_items_headers(response: Response):
            response.headers["X-Cat-Dog"] = "Alone in the world"

        app.include_router(router)
        ```
        """
        return self.api_route(
            path=path,
            response_model=response_model,
