Using Duplicacy-Web completely offline

Web version is attempting to fetch duplicacy binary from the web, authenticate computer, etc.

Would it be possible to create a package for offline usage? Maybe even without licensing, purely for copy/check/prune operations.

I understand it is doable from the shell, but UI is kind of nice :slight_smile:

Thank you for consideration.

The offline mode is planned and included in Roadmap for the web GUI

For restore/copy/check/prune operations you don’t need a license.

Thanks, saw it. May I add one more - would be grand to have an offline challenge-response for license validation. This way Duplicity can be used within isolated networks. E.g.

  1. Duplicity generates a string based on computer’s UUID and shows it to a user
  2. User enters the string at Duplicity website
  3. Server validates the output and links the computer to one of the licenses in user’s CP. It provides user with the response code.
  4. User enters the code on offline computer that uses pre-agreed algorithm to validate the input.

Sounds reasonable?
