docs availability without internet (for long time without updates)

[Ivan Alekseev]

Hi! I know that devdocs.io/offline works without internet, but i've read: 

What if I don't update a documentation?

You'll see outdated content and some pages will be missing or broken, since the rest of the app (including data for the search and sidebar) uses a different caching mechanism which is updated automatically.

What if i won't update docs for a long time? will it be fully available? (let's will be slightly outdated)

i asked this because i'm going to work in almost full disconnected network for a long time (maybe half of year). (without or with very expensive internet access)

Thanks!

Hi Ivan

If you don't reload the app/page then nothing will break. It's only when you reload the app that the index files (updated automatically) and document files (updated manually) could fall out of sync, leading to broken links.

If you're going offline for a long time, I recommend running the app locally (https://github.com/Thibaut/devdocs). The offline data on devdocs.io may get deleted in some circumstances, such as if your computer is low on disk space.
