Since my company is small, I'm sticking with the legacy gnu system, for now. That's the permanently offline system I'm in the process of migrating too. Is anyone basically using a USB stick for all records? If so, can you just plug that USB stick into any of several different (but same version of gnucash), make changes and store all records on a usb 2 or 3 device? Then copy usb-stick for backups? Like others, I am curious to track the database progress, as well as running gnucash on a cluster. Anyone running many instances of GNUcash on containers, alpine or just a bunch of VMs? I'd be most interested in those experiences too. Projects of such multiplicative offerings of gnucash I could follow?
