How to run Stash on USB?

[Michnav122343]

Could it be possible to make stashapp be able to run on a usb stick, your stash is on that same usb and you only need to plug it in a computer and start the app to acess at your stash.

You already can.

It doesn't seem to work when you start it on a computer with a different user.
I got this:

That looks like permission error.

[Michnav122343]

It looks like the app is looking at non-existant paths when I boot it on an other computer, despite having the content on the same usb.

Check your config.yml if they are absolute paths.

it works now
