The Windows binary is not code-signed. Windows Defender or SmartScreen may flag Looona as an unrecognised application. This is expected — Looona is currently a side-project and code-signing certificates are expensive. You can safely bypass the warning by clicking More info → Run anyway.

Version history

All previous versions are available for download. Click on a version to choose your platform and architecture.

Installation

Once you've extracted the archive, you can start the application by running:

./looona serve

And that's it!

Looona will create a database directory alongside the executable to store your application data.

By default, Looona starts on port 3030. Open your browser and navigate to:

http://localhost:3030

On first launch, when no users exist yet, Looona will automatically display a setup screen where you can create your first Admin account. After that, you'll be redirected to the dashboard where you can configure your first reporter and start collecting feedback.

Directory structure

database directory

After the first run, Looona will create a database directory alongside the executable with the following structure:

database/
├── database.sqlite      # Your application database
└── logs.txt             # Application logs

Note: If you're using Git, you probably want to add database to your .gitignore.

CLI usage

Looona comes with several helpful CLI commands. You can discover all available commands and their options by running:

./looona --help
