That looks good! A few additions:
- Vikunja will store everything in the
vikunja.dbfile next to the binary. If you loose that you’ll loose all tasks/lists/etc. so make a backup of it. - While the local ip should work, you should be able to put
localhostor127.0.0.1in the url field as well. I don’t know anything about windows firewall stuff so maybe they are blocking this, but theoretically it should work. - Have you tried double-clicking on the api binary?
I guess you could build some kind of launcher script which first start the api binary and then starts the desktop client. That way, you won’t need to manually start the api server every time you’d want to use VIkunja.
