Offline mode at a remote location?

Does rocket.chat work offline?

I travel to events and would like my team to be able to share files and chat over a local wifi network (or ethernet) without internet. I would have a router and APs.

For example: at a convention my graphics team share a lot of files and unfortunately 90% of the time we have to use thumb drives or portable HDDs to transfer files. It sucks.

Would like it to be a more advanced and further reaching AirDrop, if that makes sense.

I found this topic, but not sure if this is a feature or just a feature request:

Offline operation for in-flight, on cruise ship, or other isolated venues

Support server-less operation when a group of users are on an airplane flight, or on a cruise ship, or in other isolated venue, or other situations where there is no Internet connection to actual servers. Operation can be accomplished via one of: • a p2p Mesh styled connection • election scheme for a micro-service (mini server) to be started and running on one of the clients • other dynamic means of message synchronization Server URL can act as grouping ID, or partitioning for a group of us…

Thank you

Anybody have an answer to this question?

A simpler way to say it would be does Rocket.chat support P2P w/o internet?

You should be able to run it offline you would just need something to run as the server offline and self signed certificate for the mobile app.
