We need to run Frappe locally at locations with poor internet connectivity and sync data with the live server when the connection becomes available.
Is this setup supported by Frappe? Can you suggest how can handle this?

Last I heard these guys were working on an off-line mobile app/framework. Not sure where they have reached

Let us know where you reach as its a very interesting scenario (e.g. lots of people ask about POS offline availablity but your use case is slightly different but you could search for “offline” on frappegems.com)
Best of luck in finding a sollution
Interesting use case. Offline-first deployments are becoming increasingly important in areas with unstable connectivity. One challenge is usually handling data conflicts when multiple records are updated before synchronization. I’d be interested to hear if anyone has implemented a reliable sync strategy with Frappe in a production environment and what lessons they learned along the way.

@Shahid_Chaudahri Great question, this is a common challenge, especially for teams working in areas with unstable or limited internet connectivity.
Frappe does not provide native offline synchronization out of the box. This topic was discussed directly by @rmehta (Frappe’s founder) in 2018, where he mentioned that implementing offline sync is “non-trivial” because important operations like link queries, naming series, and validations are processed on the server side.
Reference: Offline Storage Synchronization and Implementations
I understand there are complications but I think most can be solved - just like POS systems ( GitHub - BrainWise-DEV/POSNext: A modern, high-performance Point of Sale system for ERPNext with offline capabilities, real-time updates, and intuitive UI. · GitHub )
What do you think?
