Hi, I was thinking of using web2py as standalone desktop application. After some tinkering I realized I needed to resolve some things.
What I want * Application should be completely standalone. Each start of application should have its own DB. * When user starts app, browser should open with the app, without asking about admin password. * App/Server should shut down when no pages of app is open. So I thought to create a init app as descripted by http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/14#How-to-distribute-your-applications-as-binaries This solves some parts but I have some more things that need to be fixed: * How to make so that app starts without asking for admin password. * How to start app on unique port that is not used. * How to have seperate DB for each instance. I thought of using sqlite in memory to make the instances independent of each other. Would this work? * I would like a instance to quit when not used anymore. I thought it would be possible if each page with ajax requires updates. If no updates asked for X minutes, I would now that there are no pages open and the server could shut down. How to implement this? BR, Toni
