Common questions

Can Lomorage be used without an internet connection?

The discussion says Lomorage should be able to work without internet access because the backup is local, though the web app may need changes because it uses CDN-hosted JavaScript.

Can Lomorage update itself after the initial setup?

Yes, the source describes Lomorage as a service that can perform self-upgrades.

Where do I point Lomorage Docker for media, backup, and database files?

Use run.sh's -m option for the media directory, -k for the media backup directory, and -b for the Lomorage directory that holds db and log files. The source says to use absolute directories for these paths.

How do I enable mDNS discovery for Lomorage in Docker on Linux?

Use macvlan or ipvlan in run.sh and provide the subnet, gateway, network interface, VLAN type, and VLAN address. The source notes these VLAN options are only supported on Linux.

Does Lomorage support multiple family users and shared albums?

A self-hosted discussion notes that Lomorage has multi-user accounts, album support, and sharing.
