Re: [Dhis2-devs] [Bug 1520661] Re: All the data entered in DHIS2 installed in my laptop gets deleted after next fresh server start

 

I am trying to create a local instance for our office, thus am installing
as a server. Staff can access the DHIS2 and enter data. Once data is
up-to-date, when will have it available online.

Given this, can I still install DHIS2-Live, have it available on our LAN
and start entering data. Later can I use the same DHIS2-Live instance and
have it accessible online??
