Laverna: Portable version

Created on 1 Aug 2016  ·  6Comments  ·  Source: Laverna/laverna

Hi there

Are there any plans to make a portable version? I'd like to carry Laverna on my USB/external drive. What this entails is having the settings/program data saved to the program folder, and ideally leaving no trace on the host computer.

In order to save your notes to the USB drive, you can specify the folder from command line interface:

./laverna --data-dir=../laverna-data

Hello @wwebfor, how do you do this with the Android app?

Hi there,

You can already use on a USB drive starting from this release: https://github.com/Laverna/laverna/releases/tag/0.7.4-RC1

Oh, that's very good news. Cheers!

@wwebfor , How can it work in Portable Mode in Windows?

I wrote this - https://github.com/Laverna/laverna/wiki/Portable-Mode.
I miss information for macOS and Windows.

Thank You.

@RoyiAvital You have to use an absolute path on windows.

.\laverna.exe --data-dir=D:\laverna-data

Or use the really ugly one on windows:

laverna.exe --data-dir=../../laverna-data
