Setting up a local Robocorp server without internet dependency

Currently, I am working in an environment where internet access is limited or restricted, and I need a solution that allows me to run my robots locally. I have reviewed the official documentation, but have not found detailed information on how to implement a local server for this purpose.

My specific questions are as follows:

Is it possible to set up a local Robocorp server that works without an internet connection?

If so, what are the technical requirements and steps needed to implement it?

Are there any limitations or special considerations I should take into account when working in a non-internet environment?

I would greatly appreciate any guidance, additional documentation, or examples you can share to help me solve this challenge.

I look forward to your comments and thank you in advance for your support.

Hi,

Welcome to Robot Framework forum. While there is a slim chance somebody here knows about Robocorp specifics, you will have better luck finding a forum run by Robocorp.

Robot Framework is an open source framework for software automation. Robocorp on the other hand was a company that used Robot Framework for some time in their commercial solutions.

Hi,

please be aware of the fact that Robocorp does not exist as company anymore - and that RCC is not maintained by them publicly anymore.
However if you need a way to create RCC environments locally (don’t you?):

On a machine with internet:
rcc ht vars => create an env
rcc ht export --zipfile myenv.zip => create A zip file which contains the env

On a machine without internet:
rcc ht import myenv.zip

For a centralized approach, I have written a docker setup for rccremote (five days before they wiped RCC from Github - great timing…): GitHub - elabit/rccremote-docker: Docker-compose setup for rccremote

But anyway, I would recommend to search for another solution which can replace RCC. If you find something interesting, please share your findings here…

(My answer only relates to the execution of robots locally. Running the control room on prem is not possible)
