Can you run the web UI version as a service?

[derkork]

I’m on a windows computer with multiple users. Ideally I would like backups to run for all users no matter which user is currently logged in. Therefore running Duplicacy as a service would make a lot of sense. A forum search showed that this was possible for the old GUI version but I cannot find any information if this is the case for the web version. Can I run this as a service? If not, how could I achieve backups in background no matter which user is currently logged in?

There are several threads on the Forum. A quick search found this one:

Run web-based GUI as different user on Windows

You may want to wait. @gchen(the developer) is targeting having the service option working in the next release.

Thank you very much. It would seem that your search-fu is stronger than mine . I’ll wait for the next version then.
