IMHO this would be the more sane option for a local (vs globally accessible) webapp; why rely on anything remote if its meant to be used only on a LAN?

After "enjoying" a broken mythweb for a week with no internet access I can attest
to the unpleasantness of this situation. It got very unpopular very fast.

Please return to using a local copy.
