#### Self-hosted baby tracker — one SQLite file, a PWA for the whole family

Lienka is a self-hosted baby tracker (nappies, feeds, sleep, walks, baths,
medications, measurements, notes) shared live between the caregivers' phones.
The whole state is one SQLite file on your own machine — no cloud, no accounts,
no telemetry. The server hosts an installable PWA: open <http://this-machine:8472/>
on each device and pick "Add to Home Screen". Works on iOS, Android and desktop.

After installing, configure it for your family and restart:

sudo snap set lienka users="mama,papa" birth-date=2026-09-17 tz=Europe/Bratislava
sudo snap restart lienka

Data lives in /var/snap/lienka/common/data and survives `snap refresh`. A plain
`snap remove` leaves an automatic snapshot you can bring back (`sudo snap saved`,
`sudo snap restore <set>`); `sudo snap remove --purge lienka` wipes it for good. Timestamps
are wall-clock local, so set `tz` to your region. Writes are unauthenticated:
run on a trusted LAN or VPN only, never port-forwarded to the internet. For TLS
put the snap behind a reverse proxy (Caddy: `reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:8472`).

## Enable snaps on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and install Lienka — baby log

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap is available for [Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8](https://www.redhat.com/en/enterprise-linux-8) and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward.

The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below.

The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 9** with the following command:

```
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
```

The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 8** with the following command:

```
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
```

The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 7** with the following command:

```
sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
```

Adding the *optional* and *extras* repositories is also recommended:

```
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"
sudo yum update
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
