What I’m trying to do:
We have an application/service that cannot be hosted as a service and must be run locally. I’d like the GUI to be a web-app that runs locally. Is this a reasonable configuration?
- Can you use pyinstaller to package the anvil runtime?
- Does it run nicely on windows/linux &osx?
for example ,i want to clone this GitHub - RipMeApp/ripme: Downloads albums in bulk
i want it to be a exe gui that user can run on their desktop and at the same time access it from url using browser
What I’ve tried and what’s not working:
Code Sample:
# this is a formatted code snippet.
# paste your code between ```
Clone link:
share a copy of your app
Welcome to the Forum!
I’m sure you have a complete description of your configuration in mind, but you’ve mentioned only a few pieces of it, so far, so it’s hard to say. There are a lot of missing pieces, and the pieces that you have described, and your use-cases, don’t fit any application architecture I’m familiar with.
As I understand it, the Anvil runtime is a complete App Server, with a dedicated multi-user database, and able to accept and process active connections from thousands of users across the globe simultaneously. I’ve never heard of anyone trying to package that for installation with pyinstaller, though it might be possible.
But if you could, what would be the benefit to the end-user?
In short, let’s hear more about what you have in mind. Then we can sift through that to see how/whether Anvil’s architecture fits that kind of usage.
