Upgrade StorageWeb-library
From the web-library github description:
"This is zotero.org's web library capable of being installed/run on other websites for a single Zotero library (that is, one user library or one group library)."
If one would install this locally on a webserver, would this one 'group library' be shareable by members?
Thank you!

This is part of my neverending search :-) for a non-cloud, selfhosted Zotero. A local cloud so to speak. [https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/73721/zotero-self-hosted]
I'm a non-techie in a library setting, within an organization that doesn't allow using the cloud for security reasons.
A growing number of our employees are using Zotero, but we are not allowed to use the Zotero servers/cloud part of it. On their behalf I tried to convince our IT-staff to do a test-setup of what seems to be the only alternative: https://github.com/SamuelHassine/zotero-prime.
Because IT lack experience with docker, are short staffed and are having doubts about the status of the zotero-prime they were reluctant in starting this as a project. Since I can't estimate the complexity and status of zotero-prime myself I had therefore more or less given up on this.
Now with the Web-library and it's description on github I was hoping this could be locally installed on a webserver and might be an alternative for the zotero-prime solution. I think that should be have been might question in the first place. Could Web-library be a solution for a locally hosted Zotero or is zotero-prime still the only way ?
zotero-prime* or something else that'd host the server locally is the only option. Frankly, if your IT feels unable installing a docker container version of the server software, this is unlikely to happen for you. In terms of installation, docker is about as uncomplicated as it's going to get.
* I should mention that "zotero-prime" is not endorsed, supported, or vouched for by Zotero and should be renamed by its developer to clarify that, so absolutely no guarantees for that particular product.
