What is it?
Lokal is a platform comprised of customizable open source software and services that enable communities and organizations to create, consume and communicate offline, or online where there is connectivity. Lokal can run on most servers, whether it’s an SBC, a nimble, or a virtual private server in the cloud.
What is different about Lokal than similar platforms?
There are similar platforms out there, but Lokal is built to be offline first – designed by and for communities and partners operating where internet is limited, expensive, and excessively censored.
Users can run the services in and sync content between global servers and local servers that work offline or online.
What can it do?
The platform enables social eLearning (building, running and taking social courses), video and audio calling and messaging, high-speed file-sharing and synchronization, wireless network management, media streaming, collaborative document and spreadsheet creation, and much more.
Think of Lokal as box of modular lego services that can be put together in different ways to meet the needs of diverse communities around the world.
How can I install it?
Everything is on GitHub – Stay tuned for detailed documentation!
Currently we have a one-line install script, and we’re working on making it easy to select and install only desired services.
