Hi,

I'd like to use ELOG as personal work logbook and database with search facilities

(e.g. record work progress, updates, plots, results, meeting schedule, outcome, TODO, etc...).

I will use it ONLY on my laptop, and I'd need to read the files when I don't have internet connection too.

I have no need to retrive files from elsewhere with a Web Browser, and I'd prefer not to open ports on the laptop.

Would this be feasible?

What's the setting I have to specify in elogd.cfg file?

Is there an example of such a ELOG use you could provide?

If you download the standard package, it installs a demo logbook on your computer which you can use as a personal logbook. It uses port 8080 by default, although this can be changed. Then only thing you need to do is to make sure that port 8080 is blocked on your firewall. Read your OS documentation on how to set-up and use a firewall. Once you block port 8080, the data cannot be accessed from outside your laptop.
