Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori/issues/126

Dear @RadhiFadlillah, I’m looking for a way to make Shiori truly portable, i.e. to keep database in the same folder where shiori.exe is located, or at least to look for database there first (then fall back to %userprofiles%\AppData\Local\shiori if database is not present in the same folder). How?

Hi @sergeevabc, sorry for slow response. I've been really busy these week, so I haven't got the time to check issues here.

Unfortunately, right now there is no way to do it, unless you make a change in code and build it yourself.

Since ramadhan branch has been merged, now Shiori has --portable flag. By using it, Shiori will create shiori-data directory in the location of executable file, and use it to store the data.
