I have developed a rails 3.1 application with mysql, accessable by internet However, I also need a version of the same application used standalone on the users PC or MAC, i.e a form of an off-line mode, for those users that demand full controle of their data Can that be done ? My requiremets are - a local database - an application that is easy to install and not require separate installations of ruby, rails, webserver, mysql or sqlite etc - an application that runs both on PC and MAC What I need is a railsapplication that any user can install with a few commands and that works locally as a standalone application or as a rails application in production mode, using a local database and the web-browser locally.

I know they open-sourced it, but I forget what it was called or whether it survived the jump to Rails 3.

Re: How to develope a standalone application in Rails
That was it. And I was conflating that with Connector, which they did open-source: https://github.com/jacques/joyent-connector along with a huge "this probably won''t work in 3 unless you completely re-write it". As far as I can tell, slingshot is nowhere to be found.

Thanks for all comments The http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/distributingrubyapplications/rails.html link seems promising but it was written 200 and much has happened with both rails and ruby since then, so it might not be up to date My main conclusion from you comments is that it is possible but there is no offline Rails framework available today, for rails 3 and for ruby 1.9 Is that correct ???

Hi Hans, Have you finally found a solution for your problem ? I have the same problematic you had and I can''t find any solution except using rack-offline (railscast<http://railscasts.com/episodes/247-offline-apps-part-1> ). Unfortunately, my applications must be compatible with FireFox 3.6+ and IE7+... I develop my application on Linux system.

I have not used Rails 3.x but with 2.3 I use Instant Rails as a prepackaged system MS Windows. It is basically impossible to have a prepackaged system that runs on Mac and Windows because of the incompatibility of their systems. On InstantRails (available from rubyforge.org) I upgraded the version of ruby and I just freeze the rails and all the gems I can. Take a look at it and see if 2.3.15 will satisfy your requirements. You may be able to upgrade InstantRails to support 3.x but I have not done that yet.
