Excellent - I think this is a common interest of those developing solutions based on BaseX. And "as-a-service-optionally-local" might pass as a BaseX Solution design pattern.

Hi Jonathan, hi Hans-Jürgen, If you are using our Windows installer, the NSIS installer configuration file could be enhanced to additionally copy database files to the target installation directory [1,2]. Does this help?

Thanks, Christian, That looks great. I probably won't cross this bridge for a month or more, but this is what I was looking for. And for Windows and Mac, just tell them to install the databases from .zip files or whatever? Jonathan On Thu, Mar 24, 2022 at 6:45 AM Christian Grün <christian.gruen@gmail.com> wrote:

Right, that’s the easiest solution: You can simply add databases of your choice in our BaseX zip distribution.
