I understand the pain of a Linux user ;) You don't need to port anything at all ;-)
RE: nothing can be web based, it must be in house and disconnected from the external web. As there would be multiple users using the same instance of the software, a web app is that they need. That way all the data and the actual app is located in a centralised location. Use any stack, you will end up creating a webapp for this scenario. *Solution - * Create the app in Python 3.7 and Django 2.2. Give them a desktop pc with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS installed. Install Nginx + Gunicorn + Python 3.7 + Django 2.2 on this desktop. Get everything up and running. This desktop becomes their new server for this app. The only difference here will be that instead of hosting the server on at a hosting providers location i.e. in the cloud, above server would would be located locally on their premises. This server would be different from their servers/pcs. So they would have to use the app in a LAN setting i.e. access the app using local ip instead of a web domain. Just remember to charge them for the desktop server you will provide ;-) Use AMD Ryzen or Threadripper for the server as they have more cores and threading enabled, they will be better than intel based cpus for a server pc. If they don't want your server, ask them to buy a separate one for this app. This way, 1. They can use whichever OS they want to use. 2. Keep their security policy "NADA, NOT GONNA INSTALL THAT". 3. Get more security as their webserver need not be connected to internet at all. 4. They don't have to install any third party softwares on their so called secure servers/pcs. 5. Store everything in a centralised location. 6. You don't have to learn C or C++. 7. You get to pay me $1000 for consulting, LOLZ. Just kidding :) I hope it helps :) Regards, Chetan Ganji +91-900-483-4183 ganji.che...@gmail.com http://ryucoder.in On Thu, May 16, 2019 at 3:29 PM RLM <ukeplaye...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello all. > I eventually will need to put my dedicated Django app on another system > owned by a Public institution.
