Local web access

Run ElluMed CRM on one computer and open it from other clinic devices.

This setup works like a local intranet app. One clinic computer hosts ElluMed CRM and stores the SQLite database, while reception, doctors, or admin devices connect through the same LAN.

Setup steps

Start local, then connect over the clinic network.

Step 1

Run ElluMed CRM on the host computer

Use one clinic computer as the local server. Open the installed ElluMed CRM desktop app and keep it running. The SQLite database and backups stay on this machine.

Step 2

Open it on the host computer

The desktop window opens automatically. For browser testing on the same computer, use this local address.

http://127.0.0.1:4000

Step 3

Find the host computer IP address

On Windows, run ipconfig and copy the IPv4 address for the active Wi-Fi or Ethernet adapter.

ipconfig

Step 4

Open it from another clinic device

On another device connected to the same clinic network, replace the example IP with the host computer IPv4 address.

http://192.168.1.25:4000

Important notes

The browser view still uses the local server.

This is not a public cloud version. Patient records stay on the host computer, and other devices can only connect while they are on the same network and the host app/server is running.

Keep the host computer turned on while other devices are using ElluMed CRM.

Use the same clinic Wi-Fi or wired LAN for every device.

Allow ElluMed CRM through Windows Firewall if the browser cannot connect.

Close and reopen ElluMed CRM if repeated test logins trigger the temporary login-attempt warning.

Do not expose port 4000 to the public internet.

Confirm automatic backups are running before real clinic use.

Need a hosted web app later?

A public cloud version is possible, but it needs a different database/backend.

Cloudflare Pages can host this guide and the EllumeShop website, but the current ElluMed CRM app is designed for local SQLite. A cloud version would need a separate backend such as Cloudflare Workers with D1 or a hosted Postgres setup.
