How to turn this into an offline application?

[cosmin-novac]

Is there any way to use meteor-desktop as a replacement for arboleya's electrify to create fully offline applications?

No, this is by design client only integration. But since this is a frequently requested feature I currently have that in plan for February. It will be available via plugin.

If you happen to create this full offline version would that offline app still work as a server?

I have a Music Server Meteor App with a webinterface. It was planned to be deployed on something like a Raspberry Pi. But we happen to use it only with my MacBook on partys (people can just throw YouTube links in there and they will be played).

So I'd like to provide a Desktop App Version of this app for OS X / Linux and even Windows if possible, where you could just start the app with a click, but it acts as a server and people can still connect to it via their Smartphones.

Would that be possible?

Hi @wojtkowiak

thanks for your work, is this feature added to latest release ? I would love to use this project instead of electrify since it's not being maintained and uses a legacy electron version.

But I need to package mongoclient with node and mongodb of course to make it work offline like meteor apps do.

Thanks in advance

Hello. Is there any news in this regard?

For those who struggle with this, can check here, I've managed to write some "dirty" code to package Mongoclient as "offline" electron application

Sorry for lack of updates. This is still planned however I was not able to progress much with this since January. Also because this is a client only integration I have encountered some architectural problems I did not thought of upfront. I am trying not to make any more promises I can not keep so currently the only thing I can say is that beta version of this should be available somewhere around July. It all depends of the amount of free time and amount of issues reported which I can not confidently predict.

@wojtkowiak This package is excellent work - thanks for your commitment to it. A full stack bundle would be amazing for a project I'm working on - is there any update on the timing of this?

Another offline fan! Would love to support this in any way possible.
